A journey of artistic discovery with the most unlikely celebrity of the 90's!
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 contemplative insights and unorthodox enthusiasms - especially on matters of the flesh - came as a delightful surprise and led to rave reviews in the press, including a feature in Time magazine.
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."
Available for the first time, this special 4 disc set brings together Sister Wendy's complete series of BBC programmes which sees her travel to Egypt, America, England and the great cities of Europe. Her delight is certainly infectious, her sense of humour unexpected, her insights fascinating and her fund of stories seemingly inexhaustible.
