As a novelist, essayist, and cultural historian, John Berger is a
writer of dazzling eloquence and arresting insight whose work
amounts to a subtle, powerful critique of the canons of our
civilization. In About Looking he explores our role as observers to
reveal new layers of meaning in what we see. How do the animals we
look at in zoos remind us of a relationship between man and beast
all but lost in the twentieth century? What is it about looking at
war photographs that doubles their already potent violence? How do
the nudes of Rodin betray the threats to his authority and potency
posed by clay and flesh? And how does solitude inform the art of
Giacometti? In asking these and other questions, Berger alters the
vision of anyone who reads his work.
