Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First American Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "When John Berger looks at a painting, a face, or a building, he enters into it, teases its associations apart, reflects on its relationship to past, present and future, an…d explores the secrets hidden from our view. He sees a photograph of a sea of faces looking with grave happiness into the camera. The time is 1989 and the place Warsaw (or Prague, Leipzig, Budapest). What do these faces tell us? With whom--or what--are they keeping a rendezvous at this extraordinary moment in history, as one era has passed and a new one is dawning? Berger prods us into sharing his passion for seeking answers to questions, solutions to enigmas. In front of Giorgione's painting La Tempesta he muses about the modern tyranny of cause and effect, the nature of cyclic time, and the singular timelessness of the act of love. He looks at the paintings of Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner not just as canvases but as a dialogue between two artists, perhaps the most tempestuous dialogue in the history of art. A visit to a palace built by a French postman reveals a unique masterpiece of peasant architecture. Whatever encounters his vision becomes an invitation to question, to pursue a line of thought wherever it may lead, and to discover new possibilities, new surprises, a new way of ordering reality. He does so with a sense of wonder, a profound knowledge of history and the foibles of the human heart; because he is a poet as well, he touches on the grandest of mysteries and makes us feel their vibrations." [jacket copy] "One of the major voices in contemporary art criticism---probably our most perceptive commentator on art---a civilized and stimulating companion no matter what subject happens to cross his mind."--The Philadelphia Inquirer. Fine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact NF jacket.
