A collection of essays culled from those written between 1980 and 1988 for The Christian Science monitor by that publication's art critic. The essays are informed, personal, and accessible. The book is beautifully produced with color reproductions of works discussed. It would have been enhanced by a bibliography and index, both of which are lacking. Published by The Christian Science Monitor, One Norway Street, Boston, MA 02115. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
