Description
Rich and thought-provoking explorations of art history come alive in this engaging study by one of the world's most celebrated art writers. John Berger takes us on a journey through centuries of drawing and painting, revealing his lifelong fascination with a diverse cast of artists. Berger grounds the artists in their historical context, offering new insights into their work and its significance. From prehistoric paintings to the linguistic play of Cy Twombly, Berger presents entirely new ways of thinking about artists both well-known and obscure. This illuminating walk through many centuries of visual culture features 100 black and white images. Through his penetrating prose, Berger maintains a vital connection between politics, art, and the wider study of culture, making this book an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the complex relationships between these subjects.
