Surveying the work of historical artists as well as that of near contemporaries such as Picasso, L?ger and Matisse, he explores the role of the artist, dividing these figures into those that struggle, those that fail, and the true masters. He explains why we should study the work of the past: in order to understand the present and to rethink the future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFirst published in 1960, \u003ci\u003e Permanent Red\u003c\/i\u003e established John Berger as a firebrand critic willing to broadcast controversial opinions on some of the most important British artists of the day, including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStoryteller, novelist, essayist, screenwriter, dramatist and critic, \u003cb\u003eJohn Berger\u003c\/b\u003e is one of the most internationally influential writers of the last fifty years.
