John Peter Berger (5 November 1926 – 2 January 2017) was an English art critic, novelist, painter and poet. His novel *G.* won the 1972 Booker Prize, and his essay on art criticism *Ways of Seeing*, written as an accompaniment to the BBC series of the same name, is often used as a university text. He lived in France for over fifty years. **Source**: [John Berger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Berger) on Wikipedia.
