It begins when John, who is in a Parisian suburb, sends Yves, who is in Haute-Savoie, an envelope of reproductions of art that have moved him. And so they begin to reveal their thoughts, looking at works by Goya, Watteau, Twombly, Joan Mitchell, Dürer, Caravaggio, Manet, and Euan Uglow, among many others. But the art is just a way to summon shared emotions and memories, as well as deepen their understanding of the world and its mysteries. John, at eighty-nine, is the more formal teacher; Yves, at thirty-nine, is the younger, philosophical artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003ePublished: UK, 2024\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Tate Publishing\u003cbr\u003ePages: 96\u003cbr\u003eLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003eISBN 10: 1849769664\u003cbr\u003eISBN 13: 9781849769662\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Berger; Yves Berger","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50453900951818,"sku":"","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781849769662.jpg?v=1734286711","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/over-to-you-letters-between-a-father-son","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
