Sexuality is used as a mean of successfully marketing this alcohol. John Berger, quote from Ways of Seeing Thus painting itself had to be able to demonstrate the desirability of what money could buy. Berger states The camera isolated momentary appearances and in so doing destroyed the ideas that images were timelessThe invention of the camera changed the way men saw. The ‘public image’ fills this gap with the dream to be in the situation that is presented – being happy because of the ownership of material possessions, instead of filling the gap with lived experience to find the happiness and fulfillment. Women are depicted as serene mother, busy secretary, perfect hostess, or sexual object advertisements work from a low level of sexuality and suggestive false product outcomes. Berger introduces the different work out art and examples of art work however throughout showing the different perspective of seeing the artwork. Advertisements suggest to the client that the purchase of this product will produce happiness, satisfaction, and most importantly the envy of peers. John Bergers Ways of Seeing Review John Berger’s Ways of Seeing was a four part documentary produced by the BBC and presented by writer and art critic, John Berger in 1972. He talks about a gap between our current situation or our present self and the future of desiring to be happy and fulfilled. The ‘public image’ functions in similar ways to traditional oil painting. Men examine women, and women examine themselves and other women.īerger talks about the impact that ‘public image’ has on us, society and culture. The visual culture represents men and women having different ways in which they are looked at, they have different “gazes”. Our perspective has changed over time into a more individualistic notion and this was apparent in the invention of the camera.īerger analyses how men and women are culturally represented and how this affects their perception of themselves and others. Oil painting was dominant between 1500-1900, which then was challenged by photography from 1900 onwards. There are two main mediums of visual art. These appearances are then detached and removed from the place and time of its capture. An image has a set of appearances which are conceived in the moment of its reproduction. So as we observe we take into account our experiences and what we know to form an opinion.
There won’t be the same perceptive from now to next time,its constantly changing.The main point that John Berger conveys is that the way we see things is affected by our knowledge and beliefs. Berger’s passage just forces on the change of peoples view and how the change will continue as technology increases. Each person has a different view however having the camera image can change a people’s perceptive and sometimes, missing a detail. An example is the cameras, they can change the meaning from the original causing the people to view differently. This watershed work shows, through word and image, how what we see is always influenced by a whole host of assumptions concerning the nature of beauty, truth, civilization, form, taste, class and gender. Berger states “The camera isolated momentary appearances and in so doing destroyed the ideas that images were timeless…The invention of the camera changed the way men saw.The visible came to mean something different to them.This was immediately reflected in painting.”(pg 18.)Berger mentions how peoples perspective are changing due to the technology.
