Berger’s Ways of Seeing rips the velvet curtain off the art world and shows us the machinery underneath — how images teach us what (and who) to value. In plain, poetic language, he dissects advertising, the male gaze, and the commodification of beauty, revealing how “seeing” is never neutral. It’s a visual manifesto that turns the gallery into a classroom and every billboard into a political text.
