Todays Nude

An interesting episode of a Channel 4 series called Life Class: Today's nude, can be seen on YouTube called John Berger on Life Drawing.

Click the titles to links to the series synopsis and to view the episode on YouTube.

Berger is the painter, art critic, art historian, author of fiction and non-fiction, and the filmmaker responsible for the television series and accompanying book Ways of Seeing that came out in the 70's. Slow paced and thoughtful. You can actually draw along with it if you go to the grainy full screen image...or just listen to it while you work at the computer on something else...
