Berger attempts to see images as simply as possible. He doesnt care for the quality of work it seems, the colors or the brush strokes. He attempts to look through the painting into the mind of which it was created. He knows that a painting is a relation of an artist to the world and how he sees it and Berger believes that he can comprehend the past by viewing the historic world in different perspectives of people who lived in history through their artwork. In a way it is a communication between the past and the present, Berger believes that he can understand what history was like through an artists “writing” in his artwork.
