Description
“Ways of Seeing,” based on the BBC television series of the same name, is a seminal work by John Berger that revolutionized the way we understand and interpret art. The book challenges traditional Western cultural aesthetics by examining how the context, history, and viewer’s perspective influence the way art is seen and understood. Berger explores the relationship between sight and knowledge, arguing that what we see is processed and modified by our beliefs and societal norms. The book is particularly well-known for its critique of how women have been portrayed and perceived in art. With its insightful analysis and accessible prose, “Ways of Seeing” encourages readers to question and rethink their own perceptions of art, making it a crucial text for anyone interested in art theory and criticism.
