Book Synopsis

Art as an encounter: John Berger on what happens when we meet an artist through their work

To look at a painting is more than just staring at art. It is an encounter, a rendezvous, with a whole world. When he stands before Giorgione's La Tempesta, John Berger sees not only paint but our notion of time, sweeping us away from a lost Eden. In this joyful, thrilling collection of encounters with images, animals and people, Berger seeks to see beyond representations into the deeper flows of things. From Jackson Pollock, to J M W Turner, the wonders of Paris or even our encounters with apes, Berger's courageous and uncompromising exploration of the world is brought to bear.
