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.

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.

评分5p 影像是重造或复制的景观,是一种或一整套表象,已脱离了当初出现并得以保存的时间和空间。 10p 过去并非供人憩息的住处,而是为了采取行动而从中提取结论的源泉。对今日的恐惧会引来对往昔的神秘化,从而造成双重损失:艺术品被不必要地置于遥不可及的境地;而历史提供给我...

评分美学课初遇,再是艺术史,再是实验电影,三度重温经典小册子,我也终于彻头彻尾成了左棍。(马克思主义乖巧比心~)
评分爱死老头子了。很有启发性的小书,而且一点也不装腔作势。
评分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
评分最后一章尤为精彩。
