The book
Ways of Seeing was written by Berger and Dibb, along with Sven Blomberg, Chris Fox, and
Richard Hollis. The book consists of seven numbered
essays: four using words and images; and three essays using only images. Now described as "revolutionary", the book has contributed to
feminist readings of
popular culture, through essays that focus particularly on how women are portrayed in advertisements and oil paintings. "Berger ... has had a profound influence on the popular understanding of art and the visual image," according to sociologists Yasmin Gunaratnam and Vikki Bell. == Reception and legacy ==
