Sister Wendy's Story of Painting

By Wendy Beckett & Patricia Wright

I remember the first time I saw this hip nun -- clad in habit, enthusiastically telling a T.V. journalist about her wordly travels and search for great art, which she was recording for her T.V. series, Sister Wendy's Grand Tour (click title). Now she's sharing more of her artful experiences and expertise with the world. The Story of Painting, full of discussions on every aspect of the paintings -- from their color and perspective to the lives of the artists who painted them -- vividly expresses Beckett's profound artistic insight.
