Berger uses the term "spectator-owner" to denote the owner of an oil painting that he possesses and which enhances his life and surroundings. The spectator-owner might experience self-satisfaction and enjoyment with his painting, in addition to the fact that he may also get money and wealth if he sells the oil painting.
