A Painter of Our Time (1958)
This visionary first novel by the Booker Prize-winning author of To the Wedding and G. is at once a gripping intellectual and moral detective story and a book whose aesthetic insights make it a companion piece to John Berger's great works of art criticism.

“You could give me a trillion dollars and I wouldn’t take it,” said Eloisa Cavazos, whose land sits along the Rio Grande, the river separating the U.S. and Mexico in Texas. “It’s not about money.”



"Today the position of the artist has changed. He is no longer valued as the producer of his work, but for the quality of his vision and imagination as expressed in his work. He is no longer primarily a maker of art: he is an example of a man, and it is his art which exemplifies him. This is true at an appreciative and philosophical level even under capitalism, where works of art are treated on the market like any other commodity."
--from ART AND REVOLUTION: Ernst Neizvestny, Endurance, and the Role of the Artist (1969) by John Berger
In this prescient and beautifully written book, Booker Prize-winning author John Berger examines the life and work of Ernst Neizvestny, a Russian sculptor whose exclusion from the ranks of officially approved Soviet artists left him laboring in enforced obscurity to realize his monumental and very public vision of art. But Berger’s impassioned account goes well beyond the specific dilemma of the pre-glasnot Russian artist to illuminate the very meaning of revolutionary art. In his struggle against official orthodoxy–which involved a face-to-face confrontation with Khruschev himself–Neizvestny was fighting not for a merely personal or aesthetic vision, but for a recognition of the true social role of art. His sculptures earn a place in the world by reflecting the courage of a whole people, by commemorating, in an age of mass suffering, the resistance and endurance of millions.

William Morris was born #onthisday in 1834. A prolific artist, designer and political campaigner, Morris is known for his floral motifs decorating wallpaper, furniture and tiles – his textile and wallpaper patterns are still in production today.
The woodblock for this 1898 print was cut by Morris, based on a drawing by Pre-Raphaelite artist Edward Burne-Jones. The two met at university and shared a flat in London in the 1850s, a few streets away from the Museum http://ow.ly/h8S530o9sJ5
