The collection of texts by British art critic and writer John Berger, On Looking, consists of three parts: a programmatic essay for Animal Studies, Why Look at Animals? (1977), and two sections with 22 texts (1966–1979), written mainly for the weekly magazine New Society (Great Britain), united in this edition under the titles The Use of Photography and Lived Moments.
Berger writes about the long history of human-animal relationships, shares his own reflections on Susan Sontag's book "On Photography," writes about August Sander, Paul Strand, and war photography, about the relationship between the body and landscape, examines the paintings of Courbet, Millet, Turner, Bacon, Magritte, and others—adjusting in these texts the gaze of a critic who looks at works of art from the perspective of his own time and expresses the connections and gaps between personal experiences and history.
The translation and publication of this book is supported by the European Union under the "House of Europe" program.
