“Landscapes” - a collection of brilliant essays and memoirs covering more than half a century of writer"s activity of the Englishman John Burger (1926–2017), whose main interest in life has always remained art. Filling the previous collection, “portraits”, the book serves as a kind of guide to the world not only - and not so much - real as aesthetic and intellectual landscapes that formed the unique worldview of the author. Before us again appears not just an outstanding art critic, but also an eloquent storyteller, a subtle observer, the author of well -aimed aphorisms and a bold critic standing in the positions of Marxism. Calling the reader to rethink the template ideas about the role of creativity in human life, Börger speaks of artistic trends and individual artists in a wide historical retrospective, while never losing sight of the socio-political context. He sincerely wants people to realize: Art should serve as inspiration, not comfort
