Author: Berger, John
Title: Bento's Sketchbook
Description: London, Verso Books, 2011. 176 pp. Illustrated. Fine copy. Hardcover. Baruch or Benedict Spinoza, also known as Bento. For years, John Berger has imagined Bento's sketchbook being found, not knowing what he hoped to find in it, but wanting to reread his words while being able to look at the things Bento had seen with his own eyes. When one day a friend gave John a blank sketchbook he began to draw: not like a seventeenth-century Dutch amateur, nor to try and illustrate Bento's thoughts, but drawing, in Spinoza's company, from life today, and telling stories and asking questions. A book of images and words, Bento's Sketchbook is an exploration of the practice of drawing, about where and to what it leads. ISBN: 9781844676842
