John Berger was born in London in 1926. He is well known for his novels and stories as well as for his works of nonfiction, including several volumes of art criticism. His first novel, A Painter of Our Time, was published in 1958, and since then his books have included the novel G., which won the Booker Prize in 1972. In 1962 he left Britain permanently, and he lives in a small village in the French Alps.

"But there is also another sense in which seeing comes before words. It is seeing which establishes our place in the surrounding world; we explain that world with words, but word can never undo the fact that we are surrounded by it. The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled."
John Berger's Ways of Seeing is one of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the BBC television series about which the (London) Sunday Times critic commented: "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." By now he has.

英語裏有一句話,“Seeing is believing。”我們生活在充斥著大量視覺信息(包括廣告、網絡上的各種圖片之類)的社會,在看的時候或許從未思考這些視覺對象所含有的信息,而隻是將它們當做一種事實片段簡單掠過。而在逛博物館和藝術館的時候,我們也不乏看見很多走馬觀花的...
評分這幾天在讀John Berger的《觀看之道》(Ways of Seeing)。 這是一部介紹如何閱讀平麵影像的書,體例為文字和圖片的結閤,一章圖片,一章文字,交錯進行。可能是翻譯的問題,感覺聱牙詰屈,並不甚長的一本書摳瞭好多天還是沒有完結。雖如此,一些具體的說法已足以改變我本來便...

評分2012年3月曾經短評過本書(http://book.douban.com/review/5354918/),當時說“原書5星,譯本至多3星”。後來因為對安迪·沃霍爾的興趣,翻譯瞭他的《波普主義》,在為《波普主義》找齣版商時,接觸到廣西師範大學齣版社的周先生(此事我記在這裏瞭:http://www.douban.com/no...

最後一章尤為精彩。
評分愛死老頭子瞭。很有啓發性的小書,而且一點也不裝腔作勢。
評分本以為是專注於圖像與觀者之間的關係,想不到其實是60年代思潮下的大量吐槽。不少觀點在今天看來已經不新鮮瞭
評分It changed the way people think about painting and art criticism, I love the chapter of Publicity and Capitalism. Thanks for recommending by @61010749
