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.
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...
评分观看为何? 对于进入机械复制时代之后的人类,这成为一个难以直面的问题。 工业革命带来的摄影技术进步,使得旧时代影像的绝对性与唯一性被彻底颠覆,艺术作品亦远离贵族垄断,走下神坛,逐渐被普罗大众频繁地通俗使用。早在19世纪,被称为“欧洲最后一位知识分子”...
评分很多观点在读书的时候已经通过各种讲座和文章看得到过,这次算是自己完整的看了整本书,希望能够阅读到英文版的。
评分读这样一本关于艺术的书,更多的不是对书本身的评价了,而是转向了对艺术的看法,怎样读艺术,怎样看待艺术,以及我们怎么样欣赏艺术。所以,写下的这些东西已经不是书评了,而是应该叫做艺术随笔,如果可以这样说的话。 应该有两种看画的方式,一种是在客观的了解作品的创作背...

本以为是专注于图像与观者之间的关系,想不到其实是60年代思潮下的大量吐槽。不少观点在今天看来已经不新鲜了
评分4.5
评分看到最后的时候才发现,恍惚的觉得,原来爷爷是反资本主义啊。。。忘了之前是在哪里看到的了,说,艺术家和艺术存在的意义,不是要给出解决问题的方案,而是要通过他们的观察和创作,给大众提供一种认识世界并改变世界的可能(大意)。所以,berger爷爷在做的,大概就是让大众怎么才能看到这种“可能”吧。。。
评分好久没看文艺评论了。。。
