A Passion for Seeing gathers a rare feast of stories, impressions, and observations from a writer and artist known for his keen honesty, great heart, and passionate pursuit of the question: what does it mean to be human? Carefully chosen excerpts from many of his books and over a dozen new drawings are among the treasures included.
In A Passion for Seeing, Frederick Franck establishes himself as a prime witness to the twentieth century. Read in this anthology the best of Franck's observations. From the onset of World War II and his work with Dr. Albert Schweitzer to private audiences with Pope John XXIII and the Dalai Lama, from the streets of New York City to the ancient temples of Japan, follow his art and thought as they illuminate our world.

A Passion For Seeing, Fraderick Franck,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Passion for Seeing: On Being an Image Maker (Codhill Press) (Paperback)
The sketches that accompany the chapters are wonderful as usual. Francks books are pure delight and everyone will enjoy them. Each chapter referrs to one of his journeys and or previous books. Since I already own many of his art books I felt this was duplicating what I already had in my library. I suggest buyers check the chapter titles for what they too may already have on hand.
