Adrian Berg

The first major monograph on the life and work of British artist Adrian Berg (b.1929), this book examines his 50-year career, both as an artist of serious note and as an influential teacher, whose students included Tracey Emin, amongst any others.

'Livingstone’s splendid study of Berg’s life goes a long way to helping us understand his extraordinary brilliance as a colourist of rare intuition and observation, yet it allows the reader and viewer to enjoy the work independently as well…Grounded in perceptual observation, but full of the dynamism of hope, Berg’s work is among the finest British landscape painting of all time.' - Studio International
