John Berger - Ways of Seeing Quotes
Quote #1: "Visitors to art museums are often overwhelmed by the number of works on display, and by what they take to be their own culpable inability to concentrate on more than a few of these works." (Berger, 44).
- I've been to some art museums in the past few months. My favorite one was the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Though I did enjoy myself, my one problem was that I truly was overwhelmed by how much artwork there was. I have yet to completely walk around the Met and see all that it has to offer with its art.
Quote #2: "They are there in all their particularity that we can study them, but it is impossible to imagine them considering us in a similar way."
- I really think this quote is something interesting to think about regarding the wealthy and famous people. An example could be a famous singer. We, as fans, are the reason behind one's success if we stream or buy their music, go to their concerts, buy merchandise. It's because of those that are considered to be "lesser" than them that they have reached fame in the first place. However, no matter how much power fans can have, with their idolization of a celebrity, the celebrity won't feel much for them.
