Talk: Life Class — John Berger on Maria Muñoz by Artangel published on 2015-07-15T16:08:59Z In July 2009 the nation learned to draw through television life drawing classes led by John Berger, Judy Purbeck, Maggi Hambling, Gary Hume and Humphrey Ocean. Broadcast during the daytime on Channel 4 in a series of five half-hour classes, an audience was guided by a tutor giving insights into the techniques of figurative drawing, art and life. “A drawing I started two weeks ago, and every day since I've worked on it, crept up on it to take it unawares, corrected it, erased it - it's a large charcoal drawing on thick paper - hidden it away, displayed it, reworked it, looked at it in a mirror, redrawn it, and today I think it's over.” (John Berger) To find out more about Life Class: Today’s Nude, visit: http://www.artangel.org.uk/projects/2009/life_class Recorded in July 2009 Voice: John Berger Image: Humphrey Ocean tutoring Life Class: Today's Nude Genre Event
