Tiziano - Su Perisi ile Coban

John,Tiziano hakkinda ne düsünüyorum, biliyor musun Bir kartpostala tek kelimeyle ten yazardim. Sevgiyle, KatyaVenedikte Tiziano sergisini gezen Katya Bergerin babasi John Bergera yazdigi bu kisa not Tiziano hakkindaki yazismalarini baslatiyor. Tartismalari giderek perilerden köpeklere, sac, kil, et ve tenden erkek ve kadin bedenine, cinsellige, sanatlara yön veren tutkulara dogru yayiliyor, ressamin bütün repertuarini tarayan, hayata dair derinlikli bir diyalog ortaya cikiyor.

About Looking

The centenary edition, with a newly commissioned introduction by Berger's biographer, Tom Overton. 'Instant readability . . . [Berger] makes one see [paintings] as statements or questions in a living language.' New Statesman'One of the most influential intellectuals of our time' Observer 'Berger is a writer one demands to know more about . . . an intriguing and powerful mind and talent' New York Times As a novelist, essayist, and cultural historian, John Berger is a writer of dazzling eloquence and arresting insight whose work amounts to a subtle, powerful critique of the canons of our civilization. In About Looking he explores our role as observers to reveal new layers of meaning in what we see. How do the animals we look at in zoos remind us of a relationship between man and beast all but lost in the twentieth century? What is it about looking at war photographs that doubles their already potent violence? How do the nudes of Rodin betray the threats to his authority and potency posed by clay and flesh? And how does solitude inform the art of Giacometti? In asking these and other questions, Berger alters the vision of anyone who reads his work.

Keeping a Rendezvous

To look at a painting is more than just staring at art. It is an encounter, a rendezvous, with a whole world. When he stands before Giorgione's La Tempesta, John Berger sees not only paint but our notion of time, sweeping us away from a lost Eden. In this joyful, thrilling collection of encounters with images, animals and people, Berger seeks to see beyond representations into the deeper flows of things. From Jackson Pollock, to J M W Turner, the wonders of Paris or even our encounters with apes, Berger’s courageous and uncompromising exploration of the world is brought to bear.

The Sense of Sight

The Sense of Sight is about our deeply political and human engagement with the visual world. Berger encourages us to question the way we see things, perceive them and ultimately judge what we see. He traces what vision means to us and its importance to see things differently. Ranging from the Renaissance to the conflagration of Hiroshima; from the Bosphorus to Manhattan; from the woodcarvers of a French village to Goya, Dürer, and Van Gogh; and from private experiences of love and of loss, to the major political upheavals of our time, John Berger encourages us to see with the same breadth, courage, and moral engagement.
