Betty Churcher's Notebooks

'My Notebooks' is an intimate guide through some of the great art galleries of Europe and the United States. From Goya to Gauguin and Rembrandt to Manet she reveals the secrets behind the artworks that have been passions throughout her life, both as a young painter living on a shoestring scholarship in London and as the much lauded Director of the National Gallery of Australia, years later. Through her sketches and lively commentary, Notebooks arouses a fresh curiosity in the masterpieces we think we know wellshe asks how often do we just take in the subject matter of a picture before moving on to the next?
