'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.\r\n\r\n 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 Sunday Times critic commented: 'This is an eye-opener in more ways than one: by concentrating on how we look at paintings .\r\n\r\n . . he will almost certainly change the way you look at pictures.' By now he has.\r\n\r\n   John Berger (b. 1926) is an art critic, painter and novelist.born in Hackney, London. His novel G.\r\n\r\n (1972) won both the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Booker Prize.

'Berger has the ability to cut right through the mystification of professional art critics ...\r\n\r\n he is a liberator of images: and once we have allowed the paintings to work on us directly, we are in a much better position to make a meaningful evaluation'Peter Fuller, Arts Review'The influence of the series and the book ... was enormous ...
