John Berger
John Berger
Born in London in 1926, John Berger was an influential writer, critic, and artist. His prolific career spanned both fiction and non-fiction, leaving behind a significant body of work that explored art, society, and politics.
Among his most celebrated works are:
- Ways of Seeing: A groundbreaking book and television series that challenged traditional ways of looking at art and its relationship to power.
- G.: A powerful novel that was awarded the prestigious Booker Prize in 1972.
In 1962, Berger made a permanent move from Britain to reside in a small village in the French Alps, a decision that marked a significant shift in his life and perhaps influenced his subsequent writings.
John Berger passed away in 2017, leaving a rich legacy of thought-provoking and aesthetically vital work.
