Description

On Artists | Vol. 2 is an anthology of John Berger's essays on artists. His texts not only immerse us in the singularity of each artistic creation, but go much further, masterfully guiding us through the personal, the cultural, and the political. It is no wonder that Berger is considered one of the most important European intellectuals of our time and one of the critics who has shaken the foundations of our understanding of art and visual language, redefining its role in contemporary culture.

In this second and final volume dedicated to artists, the British critic guides us through the advent of modernity, beginning with the work of Claude Monet and culminating with Randa Mdah, a Palestinian artist born in 1983. As in the first volume, which began with the prehistoric paintings of the Chauvet Cave and led to Paul Cézanne, the essays have been compiled by Tom Overton from the archives that Berger donated to the British Library during his lifetime. Once again, the texts reveal his incisive and consistently surprising perspective, a perspective that materializes in equally direct and illuminating prose.
