John Berger's #WaysofSeeing is one of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language. First published in 1972, it was based on the #BBCtelevision series about which the #SundayTimes 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.” And Berger has. “Seeing comes before words. The child looks and recognizes before it can speak.” “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.” #johnberger https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu3jZswnWhb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1as79hivoz7py
