Ways of Seeing

Ways of Seeing by John Berger remains as one of the canonical works in art literature.  The book, based off the BBC television series of the same name created by Berger with Mike Dibb, was written over 30 years ago, though what Berger had to say about the prevalence of visual imagery in our day-to-day lives still remains as recognized as ever.  I wasn’t alive in the 1970s to watch the series, but I read a few assigned chapters as a student, and I remember being blown away by what he had to say, and how simply he said it.  It’s a short read, and I look forward to reading through the book in its entirety.
