Summary/Abstract |
This book changed the way people think about art criticism and painting. This watershed work, through word and image, shows how what we see is always influenced by a whole host of assumptions concerning the nature of beauty, truth, civilization, form, taste, class and gender. Exploring the layers of meaning wtihin oil paintings,photographs and graphic art, Berger argues that when we see, we are not just looking, we are reading the language of images.
