by John Berger
First published 2000
When artist John Christie muses about their next project, writer John Berger simply replies: "Just send a color." Soon, a bold square of cadmium red paint crosses the English Channel. This ignites an extraordinary exchange of letters, notes, and drawings as the two friends explore the meaning and power of color. From Matisse's blues to Beuys' browns, their visual odyssey ranges across art history, challenging perceptions and revealing new ways of seeing the world.
