- love is contagiousEvery time i walk through a museum, Sister Wendy comes with me. She has the sort of passionate insight into great art that totally transforms the way you look at paintings. She doesn't just communicate what makes a painting work, she does so in a way that sharpens your eye and allows you to come to each new work with the same spirit of respect and love. And don't let the nun's habit fool you - as an art critic, Sister Wendy is very grounded in the visceral realities behind each work. When she says ... Read More

- Evocative and InterestingAs evocative and as interesting as I remembered it from BBC TV.

- Wonderfully captivating! Sister Wendy defines the art work of the many great masters in interesting details. Her explanations shed light on why they are the masters, instead of just artists with beautiful talents. The DVDs are like an Art Appreciation college course but with facts you'll enjoy remembering.

Both these book belong on art collectors shelves. Click ... Read More
