Meditations on Art by Sr. Wendy Beckett


 Sister Wendy Beckett   
The Gaze of Love
Meditations on Art

Sister Wendy Beckett   invites us to leave the limitations of what we already know and discover, the infinities of a deeper vision communicated to us through art. Art, like prayer, is always an expression of longing and modern art with its striking familiar forms offers one of the  most exhilarating and adventurous routes we can follow to that world of freedom love and beauty which lies behind all our longings.

Contemplative nun, art historian and TV presenter Sister Wendy Beckett has selected forty works of art, mostly contemporary, and her illuminating commentaries on each of them provide an excellent companion on what is an unforgettable journey of discovery.
