February 23, 2026—Ways of Seeing: Part One by John Berger 
DOCUMENTARY & DISCUSSION


Join Art in Focus for a presentation of John Berger’s highly influential BBC documentary series, “Ways of Seeing – Part one.” The first part "questions the assumptions usually made about the tradition of European paintings" The first episode in the series draws on Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, and the idea that the reproduction of art such as paintings separates the piece's modern context from the context of which the piece was created.
