"Sometimes the whole mythological scene functions like a garment held out for the spectator-owner to put his arms into and wear.
The fact that the scene is substantial and yet, empty, facilitates the 'wearing' of it."
John Berger [Ways of Seeing, 1972] on ca 1500-1800s western oil painting and their viewers/audience/owners.
