Ways of Seeing John Berger

The gaze of the ambassador is both aloof and weary.

I'm in front of you. I can see you.

Why are these pictures so vacuous and so perfunctory?

It is the expression of a woman responding with calculated charm 

to the man whom she imagines looking at her...

The sky has no surface and is intangible...

Here the edible is made visible.

Hair is associated with sexual power, with passion.

A woman must continually watch herself.

...her thighs, in order to join sideways onto her hips, 
are at least nine inches too far to the left.

Oil paintings often depict things.

Finally what I’ve shown and what I’ve said, like everything else shown through these means of reproduction, must be judged against experience.
