“Ways of Seeing has been a staple of art-history classes and a fixture on the bookshelves of critically minded young people for more than half a century. . . . [It] popularized an approach to art—and to culture more generally—that has since become ubiquitous.” —The New York Times Magazine

“The relation between what we see and what we know is never settled.” So opens John Berger’s revolutionary million-copy bestseller on how to look at art. One of the most stimulating and influential books on art in any language, Ways of Seeing was first published in 1972 and was based on the BBC television series about which the 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.
