As leading radical writer on art John Berger celebrates his ninetieth year‎,‎ he brings a lifetime‎'‎s engagement with the ideas‎,‎ artists‎,‎ and thinkers that have shaped his thinking‎:‎ Walter Benjamin‎,‎ Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht among them‎.‎ In Landscapes Berger allows us to see the evolution of his own way of seeing‎.‎ He explores the relationship between creativity and politics and the revolutionary potential of art through a series of different forms‎.‎ As always‎,‎ in this book‎,‎ Berger pushes at the limits of art writing‎,‎ demonstrating beautifully how his painter‎'‎s eyes lead him to refer to himself only as a storyteller‎.‎ A landscape is‎,‎ to John Berger‎,‎ like a portrait‎,‎ an animating‎,‎ liberating metaphor rather than a rigid definition‎.‎ Landscapes offers a tour of the history of art‎,‎ but not as you know it‎.‎ Landscapes brings together Berger‎'‎s most penetrating insights into how we may engage with both art and the artist in society‎.‎
