JOHN BERGER

(joke)

Hah! John Berger was an early influence from his wonderful pictorial exploration 'Ways of Seeing' and I went on to read 'G' as a pretentious art student wandering the corridors of Banbury School of Art clutching my talisman. The programme profile later on broadcast posthumously was profoundly moving and he was and still is still a hero to me. Artist, poet, author, critic, journalist (in that order IMO) and yes, does this constitute an 'art blog'? Hope so!
