[EAN: 9780906495254], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Writers and Readers, London], ART PSYCHOLOGY, Jacket, First Edition: 1st impression - SUMMARY: As a novelist, art critic, and cultural historian, Booker Prize-winning author 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 quietly -- but fundamentally -- alters the vision of anyone who reads his work. This title was produced in 1980 by Writers and Readers, a publishing co-operative that Berger helped to set up and finance. This copy is very uncommon, being the first edition. Firm and square in white boards, tad dusty at extremities, but overall clean and tight throughout. Free of inscriptions, in a complete dust jacket, toned at extremities, about very good still. p.198 [ii], illustrated. Contents: Why look at animals? -- Uses of photography: The suit and the photograph -- Photographs of agony -- Paul Strand -- Uses of photography -- Moments lived: the primitive and the professional -- Millet and the peasant -- Seker Ahmet and the Forest -- Lowry and the industrial North -- Ralph Fasanella and the city -- La Tour and humanism -- Francis Bacon and Walt Disney -- Article of faith -- Between two Colmars -- Courbet and the Jura -- Turner and the barber's shop -- Rouault and the suburbs of paris -- Magritte and the impossible -- Hals and bankruptcy -- Giacometti -- Rodin and sexual domination -- Romaine Lorquest -- Field. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall<
