John Berger's "Way of Seeing"

John Berger's "Way of Seeing" is all about the comparison of the art in the past and the art in the present.

• Oil paintings in the past were the only thing that can capture moments in life. Today, we use cameras to capture the moments.
• Art in the past can be solely reproduced while the art today can be reproduced instantly.
• "The typical female nude painting of traditional oil painting seems modest compared to what we encounter today."
• The art of publicity in the past asked about existence while the art of publicity today asks about our future "Will you be happy?".
• "There was no glamour in the past. Today glamour is showing off the materials you have that the other people do not have and wanted."
