Description
Ways of Seeing by John Berger is a thought-provoking exploration of how we view art. The book, first published in 1972, is based on a BBC television series and has become one of the most influential books on art in any language. Berger argues that seeing comes before words and that our understanding of the world is shaped by our visual experiences. In this unique and stimulating work, Berger examines the way we look at paintings and the relationship between what we see and what we know. He challenges the viewer to consider the ways in which art can be perceived and understood, and how our experiences shape our understanding of the world. If you're interested in art, culture, and the way we perceive the world around us, this book is definitely worth considering. If you enjoyed Berger's work, you may also like Susan Sontag's On Photography, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
