Art and Sacrificial Love: A Conversation with Michael D. O'Brien - Paperback

by Clemens Cavallin (Author), Michael D. O'Brien (Contribution by)

This work is a profound and illuminating conversation between two Catholic artists who are also gifted writers. The setting is a house in the woods near Combermere, Canada. The two men are alone, free to explore the wellsprings of Christian art and the suffering that its creation entails.

This moving discussion between the two artists and writers is not theoretical. It lays bare the anguish and the joy of a life lived in the service of an artist''s vocation. Includes an eight-page art insert.
