Landscapes showcases the development and practice of John Berger’s unique way of seeing. Here he surveys the aesthetic landscapes that have informed, challenged and nourished his understanding of the world.
Berger pays homage to the writers and thinkers who influenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective embraces artistic movements and individual artists – from the Renaissance to the present – while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation.
