Description

A poignant and intimate collection of letters between John Berger and his son Yves, an artist, exploring the realms of art, memory, life, death, and beyond. Composed of letters written between 2015 and 2016, this book is a moving look at the Bergers' musings on the world and its mysteries. The letters, some of the last written by John Berger, are an informal back-and-forth, revealing their thoughts on art, memory, and the human experience. Alongside reproductions of works by old masters and contemporary artists, the Bergers' own drawings and watercolours add a personal touch to their conversation. As they discuss the use of colour, light, and space in art, they also grapple with fundamental questions about existence, time, and the universe. This exceptional tribute to the relationship between a father and son, and between two artists, is a thought-provoking exploration of the human condition.
