John Berger

One of the world's most celebrated storytellers and writers on art, John Berger tells a personal history of art from the prehistoric paintings of the Chauvet caves to 21st century conceptual artists.

Berger presents entirely new ways of thinking about artists both canonized and obscure, from Rembrandt to Henry Moore, Jackson Pollock to Pablo Picasso.

Throughout, Berger maintains the essential connection between politics, art, and the wider study of culture. The result is an illuminating walk through many centuries of visual culture, from one of the contemporary world's most incisive critical voices.
