Лучшие книги по истории искусства

Вышло первое русскоязычное издание классической книги о природе искусства, во многом изменившей отношение западного общества к визуальному: будь то живописный шедевр из Лувра или растиражированная рекламная фотография. На примере общеизвестных произведений изобразительного искусства и типичных рекламных изображений Бергер показывает, что наряду с непосредственным сообщением практически каждая картина, каждый визуальный объект массовой культуры несет в себе идеологический заряд, обусловленный интересами доминирующего класса или же - доминирующего пола. Книга состоит из семи эссе, из которых четыре посвящены отдельным аспектам оригинальной бергерской концепции, а три представляют собой подборки изображений без комментариев, цель которых - заострить внимание читателя на затрагиваемых проблемах.
