Playing Chess With Heart: Beatrice Wood at 100

By Marlene Wallace and Beatrice Wood

Internationally renowned as one of the twentieth century's wittiest writers and most original artists, Beatrice Wood at the age of 100 is as energetic, graceful, and inspiring as ever. In a series of duotone portraits made during the last 18 years, Wood's longtime friend, photographer Marlene Wallace, has captured with sensitivity and elegance the essence of this remarkable woman. Including Beatrice Wood's mischievious and penetrating insights into everything from politics to the mysteries of love, Playing Chess with the Heart is a touching tribute to the imagination and open mind of an extraordinary creative spirit.
