Description: At one hundred years of age, Beatrice Wood is as energetic, charming, and graceful as ever. One of America's wittiest writers and highly acclaimed artists, she has long mastered the true art of living.

Now, Los Angeles-based photographer and longtime friend of Wood's, Marlene Wallace, has captured the essence of this remarkable woman in a series of black-and-white portraits that spans a period of nearly twenty years. Accompanied by Ms. Wood's delightfully clever insights on everything from politics to the mysteries of love, Playing Chess with the Heart is a touching tribute to a talented personality whose open mind and imaginative spirit are an inspiration to us all.
