He pays homage to the writers and thinkers who influenced him, such as Walter Benjamin, Rosa Luxemburg and Bertolt Brecht. His expansive perspective takes in artistic movements and individual artists—from the Renaissance to the present—while never neglecting the social and political context of their creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBerger pushes at the limits of art writing, demonstrating beautifully how his artist’s eye makes him a storyteller in these essays, rather than a critic. With “landscape” as an animating, liberating metaphor rather than a rigid definition, this collection surveys the aesthetic landscapes that have informed, challenged and nourished John Berger’s understanding of the world. \u003ci\u003eLandscapes\u003c\/i\u003e—alongside its companion \u003ci\u003ePortraits\u003c\/i\u003e—completes a tour through the history of art that will be an intellectual benchmark for many years to come.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948219109664,"sku":"9781784785857","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9781784785857.jpg?v=1763600419","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/landscapes","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
