In John Bergers book, “Ways of Seeing”, he explains that his essential aim for putting together this manuscript was to start a process of questioning about how we look, interpret and judge images (Art). I believe his urge to initiate

The Romanticism movement marked the first step away from the Classicist ideals of Renaissance painting. Romantic artists painted with emotion instead of logic, striving to depict the sublimity of nature in their work.

Art may come in the form of painting, music, theater, cinema, dance and sculpture. Art is not limited to these categories, but these are the most common.

Cinema has always been a part of my life, but I had
