These are to be found all over my diocese (rendered in various media); I have also seen them in the Diocese of Baker, Oregon and at the Dominican house of studies in Oakland, California (in the cloister, executed in enamel). My personal favorite is the Second Station, in which Jesus opens His arms to embrace His Cross.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-20691710216277523472011-07-05T22:21:12.812+01:002011-07-05T22:21:12.812+01:00I second IanW about the wonderful art of David Jon...I second IanW about the wonderful art of David Jones - the subject of my MA thesis. I'd also recommend looking for the sculpture of John Bunting (most easily seen at Ampleforth, where he taught), and of Hew Lorimer (such as his monumental Our Lady of the Isles on South Uist).Ben Whitworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00499311491843942923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-76500911342651750822011-07-05T19:45:51.160+01:002011-07-05T19:45:51.160+01:00Crikey, epsilon, that sounds like a schema for a T...Crikey, epsilon, that sounds like a schema for a Tate Modern installation.georgemnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-15229725760421702402011-07-05T19:29:55.385+01:002011-07-05T19:29:55.385+01:00Christian art and architecture are inevitably diff...Christian art and architecture are inevitably difficult when we are not in an age of faith.<br /><br />All past styles are of their time, which is not now. The exception to this is the ikon, and the Romanesque style of architecture that goes with it, and that is because they belong to no time and are not the work of an artist.<br /><br />Perhaps it is a time for self-restraint in this matter. Music is different as it is created anew each time it is performed.Physiocrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13682019625346594568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-68800845650576132962011-07-05T17:15:57.958+01:002011-07-05T17:15:57.958+01:00IanW

The impact of this work is even greater in the original, which alas is not on public display.<br /><br />The sacramental was a key element of Jones' art, poetry and other writings.<br /><br />ps I must apologise for the rather clunky full-form links above.

His work was deeply imbued with his Catholic faith.
