Review
------
"The influence of the series and the book . . . was
enormous . . . It opened up for general attention to areas of
cultural study that are now commonplace." —Geoff Dyer
"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."
—Peter Fuller, Arts Review
"Over the past sixty years, the great John Berger — art critic,
essayist, screenwriter, novelist, poet, and artist — has made
immeasurable contributions to our understanding of culture and
politics, never more potently than in Ways of Seeing." -The
Village Voice
