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.
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.
第一部分 伯格主要探讨的是艺术与政治,并且在书的一开始就以超现实主义画家马格利特的画为例,说明言语和观看之间所构成的鸿沟。马格利特(Rene Magritte)认为作画不过是一种“思考”的艺术。在《马格利特.图像的哲学》一书中,刘云卿在文章的一开始便引用了路德维希.维特根...
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...
评分这本《观看之道》是一本薄薄的小书,只有一百七十来页,里面又插入大量的图片,所以文字并不多,但是这本书看后却让我很有回味,很受启发,或许,这就是对“精辟”二字的最精辟例证,就如我在读这本书的过程中心中经常跳出的两个字――“精辟”。 本书的作者约翰.伯格...
评分三周以前,去人艺看话剧。演出结束后,到大厅旁边的戏剧书店闲逛,无意中发现了这本小册子一样的书,翻了几页,就被深深吸引住了。 这本书英文名称为《Ways of Seeing》,作者John Berger是英国的艺术史家、小说家和画家。书的封底这样介绍:“这本谈论艺术与社会关系的小册子...
评分此书购于数年前。反复阅读。受益匪浅。书中内容围绕着一个焦点image。它不是我们原始肉眼所见的影像,而是人为的创作摹拟。观看先于语言。看把物和人拉入共谋的关系,所有的image反映的都是一个主题:人是怎么在看。在看的过程中。不可避免的过滤掉了一些东西。最后呈现在我们...
最后一章尤为精彩。
评分Intro to Design读的第一本书 不知道是不是我读不惯British English 有点难懂
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
