－約翰・伯格百年誕辰紀念－暢銷半世紀 ‧ 藝術評論經典《觀看的方式》作者布克獎作家、金筆獎得主當代最重要的藝術評論家／26封未曾公開的書信往返，化為一本陪伴之書未曾撰寫自傳，約翰・伯格與兒子伊夫最深情見證獻給父子之間、兩位藝術家之間的致敬之作／「面對十歲小兒每天各種無厘頭的提問，我每每招架不住。不過，放下書本，我忍不住這麼想：不論用何種形式，我都想繼續跟孩子對話下去。約翰・伯格讓我重新思考身為父親、以及身為老師，和年輕人交流的意義──我們一起追尋，而彼此便是答案。」──鴻鴻／詩人「父與子之間的愛，本身就是一種庇護。」──《衛報》「伊夫・伯格邀請讀者走入一個父與子之間的親密世界……奇想、玩味、沉思交織，是作者對藝術與彼此之愛的見證。」──《柯克斯書評》／ 這本引人入勝且極為親密的書信集，收錄了著名藝術評論家約翰・伯格，與他的兒子伊夫・伯格，兩人於2015-2016年間的書信往來。來自當時住在巴黎 郊區的約翰，寄給身在法國上薩瓦的伊夫，信件裡頭是一些曾深深打動他的藝術作品複製版本。於是，就像伊夫憶起，父子兩人在自家閣樓打著乒乓球，一來一往、 輕鬆隨意。當把球傳給對方時，他們會說：「輪到你了」。 信件中，兩人對彼此欣賞的畫作展開了深刻的對話，從歷史與宗教圖像、素描，也包含伯格父子的創作，聊起哥雅、華鐸、杜勒、卡拉瓦喬、馬內等藝術家，動人 地呈現他們對藝術、記憶、生命、死亡，以及更深遠事物的思索。約翰・伯格談論色彩、光線與空間，試圖逼近繪畫中不可言說的部分；伊夫則回應以更直覺與哲學 化的感受，提出關於存在、感知與語言界線的問題。在這些書信裡，閱讀成為一種視覺與思想交織的經驗。藝術在此不再只是被分析的對象，而是一種媒介──讓兩 人得以接近彼此，也接近世界。 八十九歲的約翰更像一位語氣正式的老師；三十九歲的伊夫則呈現出年輕而富哲思的藝術家形象。這些書信構成約翰・伯格少數未經整理、未被理論化的書寫。它 們保留了思考生成的過程，也呈現一種持續回應世界的姿態。這本書是獻給父子之間、兩位藝術家之間的致敬之作，既是閒談藝術的書，也是關於關係、時間與存在 的書。／「我們為什麼偏偏要等到某個時刻──而不是更早──才能夠欣賞一個人的作品？真是個神祕又迷人的問題呢，你說是不是？」「也許我需要時間，才能看清眼前的事物；需要時間，讓眼睛從那張畫布上曾經見過、曾經尋找過的一切當中獲得解放。
