In 'About Drawing,' John Berger, a renowned writer and art critic, explores his lesser-known facet as a painter and draftsman. Through a series of essays, Berger reflects on the complexities of drawing, interweaving his artistic gaze with personal experiences. He analyzes works by Van Gogh, Watteau, Noël, and Muñoz, as well as cave paintings, while describing his own experience as a draftsman, seeking to unravel the secrets of the masters' technique and the difficulties of facing a model. Berger merges the enigma of art with everyday life, moving between narrative and essay.
