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.
