just cos a friend hadn’t seen it - here’s marxist art critic john berger, discussing caravaggio with some school kids. it’s really interesting both as an example of pedagogy and as illustrative of how gender can work in art and how kids can relate to that almost intuitively
this is from Ways of Seeing, which is a documentary he made on demystifying art and capitalist culture more broadly, it’s all available for free on YouTube and i’d highly recommend you check it out. it’s truly incredible to me that he managed to get something so genuinely radical and accessible shown on the bbc in 1972!
