Again, because I'm quite limited in what I can do as I'm a student, I again decided to create a survay and ask students and teachers what they thought of Newton's work. A common response was what I expected. That it seemed very based around male dominance and people often found it to be quite sexist. Even when I asked one of my tutors, he said he felt his work is representing male dominance, but when I then asked another tutor what they thought, he agreed with me in that there's a deeper meaning. That with deeper analysis you can find that it's actually the opposite.
I then asked people what they thought the purpose of his work is and where it would be used. That was quite inconsistant, some people felt his work would be used as magazine covers and others felt his work is more suited for exhibitions. His work was often used for both, so it's obviously quite clear what it is used for.
