About This Item
New York: Vintage Books, 1993. xix, 299 pages, illustrations; 22 cm. Tight, clean copy. Light shelfwear to wraps, age toning. First thus. "With this collection of essays, a preeminent critic of our time responds to the profound questions posed by the visual world. For when John Berger writes about Cubism, he writes not only of Braque, Leger, Picasso, and Gris, but of that incredible moment early in this century when the world converged around a marvelous sense of promise. When he looks at the Modigiliani, he sees a man's infinite love revealed in the elongated lines of the painted figure. Ranging from the Renaissance to the conflagration of Hiroshima; from the Bosphorus to Manhattan; from the woodcarvers of a French village to Goya, Durer, and Van Gogh; and from private experiences of love and of loss to the major political upheavals of our time , this collection encourages us to see with the same breadth, courage, and moral engagement that its author does." - Publisher.. 1st. Paperback. Very Good. 8vo.
