How do we see the world around us? The Penguin on Design series includes the works of creative thinkers whose writings on art, design and the media have changed our vision forever.
"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."
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.
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.

评分写感想之前,突然想起郭德纲,有一次看见他对台下的观众说:"你们也都长嘴了,也会说话,为什么还要花钱听我说话呢?"有点挤兑人的意思,不过鼓掌的声音还更大了. 看着这本书的过程中,我自己也老有同样的疑问,"我也长眼睛了,怎么感觉自己却原来和一个瞎子无异?". 1.观看先于言语 我...
评分这几天在读John Berger的《观看之道》(Ways of Seeing)。 这是一部介绍如何阅读平面影像的书,体例为文字和图片的结合,一章图片,一章文字,交错进行。可能是翻译的问题,感觉聱牙诘屈,并不甚长的一本书抠了好多天还是没有完结。虽如此,一些具体的说法已足以改变我本来便...

评分英语里有一句话,“Seeing is believing。”我们生活在充斥着大量视觉信息(包括广告、网络上的各种图片之类)的社会,在看的时候或许从未思考这些视觉对象所含有的信息,而只是将它们当做一种事实片段简单掠过。而在逛博物馆和艺术馆的时候,我们也不乏看见很多走马观花的...
看什么、看成什么、在哪里看、怎么看,伯格企图揭示观看背后的社会关系、特别是权力关系。1.复制品对原作在观看方式上的颠覆,2.女性(身体)的surveyor和surveyed,nakedness和nude之间的差别,被绘画/审视客体化的女性,女性始终以暗含的男性目光审视自己,甚至无意识地取悦男性(想想正义联盟中神奇女侠的超短裙)。3.西方文明的油画传统,从物到风景都成为财产、占有权的宣示,即便对自然的沉醉或者神话题材也是装饰性的,substantiality and emptiness,4.广告transform our lives by buying something more,envy诱导的快乐形成了glamour,对未来的白日梦式的允诺,补偿了现代社会中人对自己无能与渴望能之间的鸿沟。
