More wisdom from Michael D. O’Brien

 
 
 

I always connect aesthetics, deep aesthetics, to the mystery of love within the human heart. And if we reduce aesthetics to only a theory of beauty or art, we have limited the field. Aesthetics and love are intimately connected, because to create is to love. To love is to create.

—Michael D. O’Brien

SUFFERING FOR BEAUTY

This work is a profound and illuminating conversation between two Catholic artists who are also gifted writers. The two men are alone, free to explore the wellsprings of Christian art and the suffering that its creation entails. This moving discussion is not theoretical. It lays bare the anguish and the joy of a life lived in the service of an artist's vocation.
