Book Description
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 more than 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. These are the best of Franck’s observations. From the onset of World War Two 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.
About the Author
Frederick Franck’s sculpture and artwork are in the permanent collections at The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the Tokyo National Museum, and other public and private collections. He is the author of more than twenty-five books, including The Zen of Seeing, and Pacem in Terris: A Love Story—chosen by Spirituality & Health magazine as one of the best spiritual books of 2001. Franck was recently honored with the World Citizenship Award by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, and, now in his nineties, actively engages in art, activism, writing, and the search for what it means to be human.

A Passion For Seeing, Fraderick Franck, Oct 10 2005
By Sketch Artist "Sketch Artist" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Passion for Seeing (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.
