Description

A major new book from one of the crucial world’s leading writers and art critics

John Berger, one of the crucial world’s most celebrated art writers, takes us through centuries of drawing and painting, revealing his lifelong fascination with a diverse cast of artists. In Portraits, Berger grounds the artists of their historical milieu in revolutionary ways, whether enlarging at the prehistoric paintings of the Chauvet caves or Cy Twombly’s linguistic and pictorial play.

In penetrating and singular prose, Berger presents entirely new ways of desirous about artists both canonized and difficult to understand, from Rembrandt to Henry Moore, Jackson Pollock to Picasso. All through, Berger maintains the crucial connection between politics, art and the broader study of culture. The result is an illuminating walk through many centuries of visual culture, from one of the crucial latest world’s most incisive vital voices.
