Portraits : John Berger on Artists Hardback
by John Berger
Hardback
Description
One of the world's most celebrated art writers, John Berger takes us through centuries of art in this distinctive history that will enlighten and inspire.
In Portraits, Berger connects art and history in revolutionary ways, from the prehistoric paintings of the Chauvet caves to Cy Twombly's radical work.
In his penetrating and singular prose, Berger presents entirely new ways of thinking about art history, and artists both canonized and obscure,from Rembrandt, to Henry Moore, Jackson Pollock to Picasso.
Throughout, Berger maintains the essential connection between politics, art and the wider study of culture.
A beautifully illustrated walk through many centuries of visual culture from one of the contemporary world's most incisive critical voices.
