  1. So we have done a presentation about the comparison between
  2. figures in flatland society in Victorian society and the figures
  3. in contemporary art.
  4. We have got the idea.
  5. After visiting Carla Cardiss exhibition in the museum, 20 Millon
  6. Ah, Cardi was best known for her husband, abstract paintings
  7. and her colleague Graphic Science.
  8. And she was the one of the founding members off
  9. former one, a group of artists who embraced the futurism
  10. and Marxism as a response to the expressive face ist
  11. regime in Italy.
  12. In her works, Ah cardi made paintings off circles, science
  13. and other figures to express her feelings and to fight
  14. against her society, we saw participate in paintings which inspired
  15. us to compare them to flatland society.
  16. So women in flatland society are straight lines and they
  17. are dangerous for men because they can kill them.
  18. And so men have to be warned about their presence.
  19. For this reason, women have to follow lots of rules
  20. to be noticed by men on the other end.
  21. In real life, they were not considered at all, and
  22. they hadn't any kind, off writes.
  23. Women had to stay home and look after their Children
  24. and house Oh and household the chores, trying to be
  25. as inconspicuous as possible.
  26. This is an A car, this painting else off straight
  27. lines. Then we have soldiers and the lowest class off
  28. the workers in flatland.
  29. They are isosceles triangles with a small base and a
  30. sharp angle so that they could be dangerous.
  31. Um, in the Victorian age, some men were forced to
  32. join the army without choice, as in flatland.
  33. And so they became a simple soldiers while the workers
  34. at work several hours per day with very low salary
  35. salaries and disclosed their poor living condition.
  36. And this is on a cardi painting which represents lots
  37. off isosceles triangles, a lta gether in a painting.
  38. Then we have the middle class, uh, in flatland.
  39. They are collateral triangles and if they have a lot
  40. of success or they are diligent and skillful Labradors, they
  41. will erase that their class because the male child shall
  42. have one more side than his father.
  43. In Victorian society, they were hard workers and they had
  44. to face a very financial problems.
  45. Victorian age was a golden period for the middle class.
  46. In fact, some of them became rich, richer and richer.
  47. Thanks to the industrialization.
  48. And here we have some a car, these paintings off
  49. equilateral triangles.
  50. Oh, then we have Mr Square Class in flatland.
  51. They are squares and Pentagon's, and they represent the gentleman
  52. in the Victorian age.
  53. They did not need toe work in order to earn
  54. money or perform any labor, any manual labor in order
  55. to live and survive.
  56. In fact, they own their own land.
  57. Um, and they had a particular, particularly generous income.
  58. Eso they can dedicate themselves to their patient became in
  59. more culture it as Mr Square deal with the mess.
  60. Uh huh.
  61. Those are some car these paintings which represents squares.
