Radio 4, 9.45am

In 1972 the writer John

Berger launched his

landmark series Ways of

Seeing, which examined how

we look at art, encompassing

subjects such as art in the

age of mechanical

reproduction, the female

nude and the male gaze.

Marking its 50th anniversary,

five writers talk across the

week about an image that is

important to them while

reflecting on how Berger

influenced them. We start

with the writer Geoff Dyer,

above, who chooses a picture

by photojournalist Robert

Capa and declares how

Berger “made boring old

paintings of men in ruffs look

interesting”. Ben Dowell
