Many thanks for posting this. Hard to believe this is almost 50 years old, but still enlightening. Berger really knocked over the apple cart in terms of "art appreciation." His is a very important voice in demestifying "art". His analysis of human-animal relationships is - IMHO - fascinating, for example in his work "Why look at animals?"

An interesting aside about these programmes have helped change the way we see images. Near me is the second most popular National Trust stately home although it is probably the least grand. The reason people like it is because the Yorke family commissioned portraits of their staff as well as themselves and made a verse about each one. They saw those who served them not as chattels but human beings worthy of love and respect. The pictures are crude and of no interest to an art historian.

Social media is just another way of publicity, now we are not only surrounding the images but we are surrounded by them as well. We are constructing our own walls, it is necessary to show ourselves as if we were living a celebrity in order to believe that our life is a dream. It's funny that most of these people forget that dreams don't necessarily have a positive meaning and like Berger said, it only increases the madness present in our society. If you don't believe me I suggest you look up music videos by Fergie, Miley Cyrus and what have you. It's the finest schizo porn you can find.

Like Berger himself says, don’t accept things too passively. Why change the focus from museum art to advertising? They are both visual mediums ok but their function are very different, one is an object of art that can hold many messages and even has a commercial value, the other is an medium (with no value in itself) that holds a unique message that is selling a commercial product (and lifestyle but that goes with the package).

Thank you so much!
As they say, strongest of scents come in the smallest of bottles.
As well as the other excellent recommendations, try "Shock of the New" by Robert Hughes. kzhead.info/sun/fZenlZuNm5Obp58/bejne.html
thanks john berger

i love how "publicity" is actually "capitalism"
I love how publicity is possible with capitalism and with capitalism you have the choice to buy things if you want them...
@@Captain-eh1ez I love how stupid this comment is.
he's a marxist
@@Captain-eh1ez the problem is that the current state of capitalism we live in (late capitalism) doesn't focus on buying things we need to live, and is more based on having a random handful of people systematically taking & hoarding money from the rest of the population. "Publicity" is part of that system of manipulating, of enabling a majority of people to help a certain few get disproportionately richer.
@@spinophrenic3775 It sounds like you are denying Mr. Marx have made a number of good, fair points.
So. Much. Perfume. A full 3 minutes of the same perfume. Good show, but I don't think I'll ever wear perfume again.
love finding knowledge on yt
Holy fuck, I never realized how materialistic a lot of european art was
I had a friend who told me once that a person's toothache was more important to them than a million people starving to death in Africa. I have a philosophy, it took me decades of thinking to arrive at it. The problem with the world is simply us, humans, we are the problem. And, there's no solution to the problem. No religion or belief system or political party, nothing will stop humans from destructive behavior. Nothing. We are doomed. I really don't like to think that, but I believe it is true.
13:59 - there is a Biosphere album in there somewhere.
whats the genre of music used in this?
Alan Watts vibe
If you guys wanna see more great breakdowns of society like this you should watch 'The Perverts Guide to ideology'
@@michaelmcclure3383 it's a film they edit them out
we ignore the truth.
What is the painting at 4:45? with the women in dresses sitting in nature.
Versace does this a lot.
I sped up the video to get through it faster, as the man talks too slow. I just realized he juts his head forward with every inflection.
I highly recommend setting it to 2x
10:19 You’re welcome
Like Berger himself says, don’t accept things too passively. Why change the focus from museum art to advertising? They are both visual mediums ok but their function are very different, one is an object of art that can hold many messages and even has a commercial value, the other is an medium (with no value in itself) that holds a unique message that is selling a commercial product (and lifestyle but that goes with the package).
Ruminations on glamour smack bam in the age of glam rock!
Re Minty Spunkbubble: Macdonalization itself proves how mad our culture is.
It's a pity the colours in this series are so faded.
Refreshing... A bbc production with no marxist rhetoric and promotion of victim culture, thnx 4 uploading.
are you being sarcastic? you know hes a self described marxist right?
I think what he means is it wasn't being as weaponized in the early 70s.@@nickpov3y
I have watched this video with great difficulty. There were many pictures that were very obscene.
They surely don't make sprays like the women do in these labor factories anymore, all of those menial tasks are thankfully automated.
What he said about the stark differences in articles/news/ads in magazines juxtaposed and sometimes very contrasting can still be seen in social media especially Facebook and Instagram stories that first fight for some cause like animal rights but the very next one is some stupid meme...
name jeff
I don't know if it's a British thing, or if he intended to do it, but he uses the word "publicity" (over and over) when he obviously means advertising.
This was 46 years ago.....
Would you be so kind to allow saving this offline? :-)
There is actually a book with the same title. As good a read as the TV series is a good a look.
It's rather pathetic, our vanity and need for acceptance and approval !
Bruh I just wanted to understand art and now I'm depressed and angry smh
14:33
They don’t make documentaries like they used to.
It is not " They" but it was a created by a lone artist.
Mirá vos che :v

Ah back in the days when corona supposedly makes you cool
13:15. The wealth DOES equate to success for males and attracting women. It signifies that he can provide for her and any offspring. To deny that in a capitalist society is fooling yourself.
