About Looking by John Berger

3.0

This book is a series of essays, mostly about painting (although there are a few on sculpture and photography), that you can read alone but there is at least one essay that references an earlier one from the book. I've only given 3 stars because of the god awful image quality that is akin to a poor quality photocopy. You can wax lyrical about an image as much as you like but when the image I'm looking at is black smudgy mess it detracts. In fact I don't know why you'd bother with the images at all in this way. Otherwise a compelling read.
