Review:
"One of the world's most influential art critics... and one of the most original of contemporary thinkers... Berger's ability to see something clearly, with fresh surprise yet profound understanding, makes his writing singularly moving and informative." -- Washington Times "Berger's mind travels the globe, and its range is astonishing . . . unfailingly interesting."--New York Times Book Review.
