Ways of Seeing, Part 1: Painting and the Camera
- 1974 ----- color ----- 31 min ----- 16mm/vhs
- John Berger, British art critic, shows us how to look at painting in contemporary terms. The camera and printing press have destroyed the uniqueness and the quietude of painting. Now paintings exist everywhere. Their images are manipulated to suit the purposes of publicists and propagandists. And paintings are distorted and transformed by the media that transmit them. In this light, Mr. Berger finds ridiculous the atmosphere of false religiosity cast on painting by his fellow critics.
