Mystification is the process of explaining away what might otherwise be evident.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>In Marxism, mystification refers to the intentional deceiving of the majority working class (proletariat) by the minority upper\/middle class (bourgeoisie) to preserve their wealth. Berger takes this framework of mystification and applies it to the way art is critiqued and owned\u2014particularly the idea that throughout history, art historians and the wealthy elite have obscured ideologies hidden within the art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cAll publicity works upon anxiety. The sum of everything is money, to get money is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-overcome-overthinking-and-anxiety\/\">overcome anxiety<\/a>. Alternatively the anxiety on which publicity plays is the fear that having nothing you will be nothing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Every advertisement you see offers a different product or service, but Berger explains that they all promise the same thing: An improved life. By spending money on this or that, your life will become more fun, more relaxing, more convenient. You will improve as a person. Others will envy you and emulate you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cPublicity turns consumption into a substitute for democracy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Democracy is built upon the premise of choice\u2014we choose our representatives and our leaders, and thus have greater control over the decisions made for us. Advertisements offer an abundance of choice. So much so, Berger notes, that we move through our lives with a comfortable illusion of being in control. Any areas of society where democracy is failing is less obvious to us because we operate with the belief that we are making all of our own decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201dNakedness reveals itself. Nudity is placed on display.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all naked paintings are nudes. According to Berger, to be naked is to be yourself, and to be seen by others for who you are\u2014it is vulnerability and honesty. To be nude, on the other hand, is to <em>hide<\/em> oneself and be seen by others as an object\u2014usually for sexual fantasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>\u201cThe real question is: to whom does the meaning of the art of the past properly belong? To those who can app|y it to their own lives, or to a cultural hierarchy of relic specialists?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ways of Seeing<\/em> challenges the idea that, to understand and appreciate works of art, we need experts to \u201ctranslate\u201d them for us. Rather, Berger urges us to pull back the curtain and look at the images before us with our own eyes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is John Berger&#8217;s Ways of Seeing about?
