À propos de ce produit
Product Information
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.

Reviews
"Editors' Choice" -- New York Times "John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at things till we see what we thought wasn't there. But above all he teaches us how to love in the face of adversity. He is a master." --Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things "A volume whose breadth and depth bring it close to a definitive self-portrait of one of Britain's most original thinkers." -- Financial Times "Shows the 88-year-old British art critic at his bristling best." -- Wall Street Journal "Unruly attentiveness animates ... a lifetime's engagement with artists like Rembrandt, Goya, Henry Moore and Francis Bacon ... Ingenious, jargon-free and direct ... Berger is a formidable stylist." --Alexi Worth, New York Times "Perhaps the greatest living writer on art ... reminds us just how insufficient most art commentary is these days ... an indispensible guide to understanding art from cave painting to today's experimenters." -- Spectator (Art Books of the Year 2015) "A near exhaustive selection of the ever astute writer's 'responses' to various artists and works, chronologically organised from early cave paintings through to the Palestinian artist Randa Mdah." -- Independent (Books of the Year 2015) "In the writings of John Berger we find a passion for art itself, for the created thing, that is everywhere tempered by an awareness of the social and political world, which too many theorists, whatever their special pleadings, simply ignore." --Mark Kingwell, Harper's "Berger's art criticism transcends its genre to become a very rare thing--literature." -- New Republic "A rich and loving exploration of art history, at once intellectually acute and deeply personal ... vital and uncommonly engaging proof of concept for ideas that Berger has long espoused." -- Slate "Berger has always been a writer who understands that art does not begin and end with the canvas--instead, art (and great art writing) should stay with us as a communion between the overlapping titles we assign as portraits: wife, person, genius, artist. These titles, when carefully assigned, could be limiting, but in Berger's expert hands, they are just the beginning." --Haley Mlotek, National Post "John Berger is always illuminating and his latest book doesn't disappoint." -- Scotsman "In this extraordinary new book, John Berger embarks on a process of re-discovery and re-figuring of history through the visual narratives given to us by portraiture. Berger's ability for storytelling is both incisive and intriguing. He is one of the greatest writers of our time." --Hans Ulrich Obrist, author of Ways of Curating "[Berger] long ago attained a position unrivalled among English writers or intellectuals of his generation; he seems to stand for a vanished era of critical and political seriousness ... All that seems worth preservng and worth celebrating in a long and varied but essential volume like Portraits ." --Brian Dillon, Literary Review "Regardless of the era he studies or the decade in which he writes, his lyrical prose always ultimately serves a fervent political concern ... Berger's writing is fearless, winnowing down canonized artists to their essential political bones." -- Brooklyn Rail, "John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at things till we see what we thought wasn't there. But above all he teaches us how to love in the face of adversity. He is a master." --Arundhati Roy, author of The God of Small Things "A volume whose breadth and depth bring it close to a definitive self-portrait of one of Britain's most original thinkers." -- Financial Times "Shows the 88-year-old British art critic at his bristling best." -- Wall Street Journal "John Berger is always illuminating and his latest book doesn't disappoint." -- Scotsman "In this extraordinary new book, John Berger embarks on a process of re-discovery and re-figuring of history through the visual narratives given to us by portraiture.

Berger's ability for storytelling is both incisive and intriguing. He is one of the greatest writers of our time." --Hans Ulrich Obrist, author of Ways of Curating Praise for John Berger: "I admire and love John Berger's books ... Not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience. He is a wonderful artist and thinker." --Susan Sontag "One of the most influential intellectuals of our time." --Sean O'Hagan, Observer "Berger is a writer one demands to know more about ... an intriguing and powerful mind and talent." -- New York Times, "I admire and love John Berger's books ... Not since Lawrence has there been a writer who offers such attentiveness to the sensual world with responsiveness to the imperatives of conscience. He is a wonderful artist and thinker." --Susan Sontag "One of the most influential intellectuals of our time." --Sean O'Hagan, Observer "Berger is a writer one demands to know more about ... an intriguing and powerful mind and talent." -- New York Times, "John Berger teaches us how to think, how to feel, how to stare at things till we see what we thought wasn't there.
