About this ebook

El alcance de las reflexiones de John Berger es tan diverso como sustancial e influyente. En 1972, Berger revolucionó la teoría del arte con el programa televisivo Ways of Seeing, que posteriormente se publicaría en el célebre libro homónimo Modos de ver. Poco después aparecieron Mirar y Otra manera de contar y, en paralelo, la obra artística y literaria de Berger. La presente antología viene a llenar un vacío en la publicación de su obra teórica y reúne, por primera vez en un solo volumen, los textos sobre fotografía más importantes del artista e intelectual británico.
Los cerca de veinticinco ensayos que componen este volumen, cuidadosamente seleccionados por el novelista y ensayista Geoff Dyer, aparecen ordenados cronológicamente en un recorrido donde se suceden desde textos emblemáticos ya publicados en algunas de las obras más conocidas de Berger, hasta artículos inéditos aparecidos en catálogos de exposiciones. También comparte sus visiones con colegas como Sebastião Salgado o Martine Franck y nos regala brillantes reflexiones sobre la obra fotográfica de Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand o Eugene Smith. Un conjunto reflexivo de peso que pasa a formar parte por derecho propio de las grandes obras sobre el medio fotográfico.

John Berger

John Berger was born in London in 1926. His many books, innovative in form and far-reaching in their historical and political insight, include To the Wedding, King, and the Booker Prize-winning novel, G. Amongst his outstanding studies of art and photography are Another Way of Telling, The Success and Failure of Picasso, Titian: Nymph and Shepherd (with Katya Berger), and the internationally acclaimed Ways of Seeing. He lived and worked in a small village in the French Alps, the setting for his trilogy Into Their Labours (Pig Earth, Once in Europa and Lilac and Flag). His collection of essays The Shape of a Pocket was published in 2001. His latest novel, From A to X, was published in 2008. The Three Lives of Lucie Cabrol, produced by Complicite and based on a story by Berger, toured for three years between 1994 and 1997. About Looking, published by Bloomsbury in April 2009, was the follow-up to the seminal Ways of Seeing, one of the most influential books on art in the 20th century. He died in early 2017.

    The book is a classic. John Berger's book deconstructs much about photographs, and reconstructs them again. The writing may seem simple enough, but it delves deep into the art and philosophy of photography, as well as the art of some of the photographers. It is, however, advisable to read up on the photographers he talks about before you read the book, else some of it may not make too much sense. Or, read about them after you read the book, and then re-read the book.I am not sure why he held such a high regard for Susan Sontag's "On Photography", but then you can't have it all.
