Sister Wendy - The Complete Collection (4 Disc Set)

Sister Wendy Beckett, hermit nun with a roguish smile and a most unorthodox passion for art, has been lauded in the press as, "the best talker on art since Lord Clark gave us Civilisation".

Her observations are sometimes shocking and candid, sometimes poignant and emotional. She hopes to bring art to the masses the way Pavarotti did with opera. As Sister Wendy explains "So many people are frightened of art, but they shouldn't be. Art is a window into something greater than yourself, a way of enriching your life through someone else's experiences."

STORY OF A PAINTING
From deep in the Lascaux caves, through ancient Egypt, across Europe and over the Atlantic galleries of New York City, Sister Wendy reveals a panorama of Western art that is in itself a masterpiece.
