Ways of Seeing is a very thin book‚ with few words‚ yet it is an extremely influential book‚ and confronts several important aspects of art‚ unlike any other author.

Berger’s "Ways of Seeing" VS. My Own There are numerous ways to "see" a picture. One person’s life can‚ and will affect the way in which they view the painting.
