Description

Ways of Seeing is a key art-historical work that continues to provoke widespread debate.

It is comprised of seven different essays, three of which are pictorial and the other containing texts and images.

Berger first examines the relationship between seeing and knowing, discussing how our assumptions affect how we see a painting.

He moves on to consider the role of women in artwork, particularly regarding the female nude.

The third essay deals with oil painting looking at the relationship between subjects and ownership.

Finally, Berger addresses the idea of ownership in a consumerist society, discussing the power of imagery in advertising, with particular regards to photography.
