Fuller on Berg

 From Peter Fuller's essay on Adrian Berg, Serpentine Gallery exhibition, Summer 1986 -

(Peter Fuller's Modern Painters, Reflections on British Art, edited by John McDonald)

"In 1973, Berg sent me a copy of something he had written in which he tried to distinguish between 'critical' and 'creative' attitudes to thinking and looking. The problem for the latter, he acknowledged, was that, in the end, 'one's senses alone convey to one the significance of what one sees. This is reality, or the one reality one knows.' "

Adrian Berg/ Gloucester Gate, Regent's Park, June/ 1983
