John Berger Quote

The mirror was often used as a symbol of the vanity of woman. The moralizing, however, was mostly hypocritical.You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, you put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting Vanity, thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for your own pleasure.
