A Painter of Our Time - John Berger


Berger's first novel which received much criticism in the 1950's for its political statements. The tale is a mix of art and politics told from the diary of a painter. If you love art and/or Berger, it is a good read. This isn't as powerful as his more recent novels, but it places the reader into the mind of a struggling painter. Some good insights into art and the process.
