In Ways of Seeing, he combines the fundamentals he has learned in both writing and creating art to create a comprehensive narrative in order to discuss particular issues. John Berger is an English art critic, novelist, painter, and author. Through his individual discussions, Berger hopes to raise questions within the reader and apply the foundations learned in the book towards their own art. This book is composed of seven essays-four written essays and three pictorial essays. In this novel, Berger discusses traditional Western cultural aesthetics and the hidden ideologies within the world of visual arts. Ways of Seeing by John Berger is based upon the 1972 BBC four-part television serious of the same name. I recently wrote a review for this novel for my Theory and Criticism of Visual Arts class, so I figured, why not post it on here too? Since the entirety of the book discusses Berger’s philosophies within the world of art, I will be reviewing the book in its entire context, not simply its aesthetic qualifications.
