The Classic Text on Art by John Berger

Among the most thought-provoking and significant books on art in any language is Ways of Seeing. Based on the BBC television series, it was first published in 1972. A reviewer for the (London) Sunday Times said of the book, "This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings... he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures." He has by now.

"Berger has the ability to cut right through the mystification of the professional art critics . . . He is a liberator of images: and once we have allowed the paintings to work on us directly, we are in a much better position to make a meaningful evaluation" —Arts Review, Peter Fuller

"Both the book and the series had a tremendous impact. According to Geoff Dyer in Ways of Telling, "it opened up for general attention areas of cultural study that are now commonplace."
