”[…]Courbet’s painting raises the question for me as to whether Courbet does not in fact rather brilliantly convey in his partial representation of a woman something of the very partiality of the gaze of love. A partiality depicted by Lacan:
When in love I solicit a look, what is profoundly unsatisfying
and always missing is that – You never look at me from the
place from which I see you. Conversely, what I look at is
never what I wish to see.”
—The Gaze of Gustave Courbet’s L’origine du monde , a response to Juan Davila
