John Berger, art critic and author of Ways of Seeing, dies

In one of his final interviews with the Observer’s Kate Kellaway, he gives his view on the Brexit vote: "It seems to me that we have to return, to recapitulate what globalisation meant, because it meant that capitalism, the world financial organisations, became speculative and ceased to be first and foremost productive, and politicians lost nearly all their power to take political decisions – I mean politicians in the traditional sense. Nations ceased to be what they were before".
