A magisterial collection of essays on what art tells us about ourselves, and the world

The Sense of Sight is about our deeply political and human engagement with the visual world. Berger encourages us to question the way we see things, perceive them and ultimately judge what we see. He traces what vision means to us and its importance to see things differently. Ranging from the Renaissance to the conflagration of Hiroshima; from the Bosphorus to Manhattan; from the woodcarvers of a French village to Goya, Dürer, and Van Gogh; and from private experiences of love and of loss, to the major political upheavals of our time, John Berger encourages us to see with the same breadth, courage, and moral engagement.
