Antonello da Messina - Crucifixion
Antonello da Messina - Crucifixion , a photo by petrus.agricola on Flickr. Kicking around the Net looking for Berger's own art. Didn't find much but I'll keep looking. Is it Leger-esque--or at least taking Leger as a starting point? Reading Berger (thus far only "early Berger") you might expect so. Should art follow a projection? And what does the end of the rainbow look like? If its genesis is Leger I'm not sure I'll like it much. * Anyway, I found this painting (sometimes called The London Crucifixion) and Messina instead. Berger is on his way to see it in the National Gallery (London) and gets escorted out after dropping the f-bomb (I took only a light foray into the text). **Note: I think the Berger article is up at various websites, but I stumbled across it at PULSE: http://pulsemedia.org/tag/john-berger/
