The scope of John Berger's reflections is as diverse as it is substantial and influential. In 1972, Berger revolutionized art theory with the television program Ways of Seeing, which would later be published in the celebrated book of the same name. Shortly thereafter, About Looking and Another Way of Telling appeared, alongside Berger's artistic and literary work. This anthology fills a gap in the publication of his theoretical work and brings together, for the first time in a single volume, the most important texts on photography by the British artist and intellectual.
The nearly twenty-five essays that make up this volume, carefully selected by novelist and essayist Geoff Dyer, are arranged chronologically, presenting a journey that includes emblematic texts already published in some of Berger's best-known works, as well as unpublished articles that appeared in exhibition catalogs. He also shares his insights with colleagues like Sebastião Salgado or Martine Franck and offers brilliant reflections on the photographic work of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, or Eugene Smith. A weighty collection of reflections that rightfully takes its place among the great works on the photographic medium.
