"An Opera to be Sung"
Intermediality and the Making of Four Saints in Three Acts
From: Florine Stettheimer
$2.20
By adopting what John Urry terms “the tourist gaze,” and by exploring Stettheimer’s late paintings, namely, the Cathedrals series, this essay argues that the artist engenders a feminized city reclaiming the metropolis for women through ironically themed practices of daydreaming and consumption.
