Critical Analysis of ” Ways of Seeing”

Analysing the cultural text itself.

‘Ways of Seeing’

Today in critical perspectives, we analysing John Berger’s text, titled ” Ways of Seeing”

I found this text really interesting, and i had never previously noticed the majority of the points he brought up in this text. Especially in the old paintings. The way the women are perceived as vain if they’re holding a mirror. Also, the male figures which are often painting, are nearly always simply looking at the women, who aren’t wearing anything.

Of course, the one that the paper rotates around, is the ” Men act and women appear”. The more you look at the the photos previously mentioned, the more you notice that the makes are often doing, existing, holding and moving. Where as the women are simply sitting, standing or being admired themselves.
