de Wolfe, Gregory. · Publicada por primera vez en 1998
In Sacred Passion: The Art of William Schickel, eminent biographer Gregory Wolfe chronicles the life of American artist William Schickel of Loveland, Ohio, one of the most distinguished, versatile, and spiritual artists at work today. In a career spanning nearly fifty years Schickel has drawn on his deep personal faith and his skill as an artist and designer to meet the needs of a variety of diverse communities. With quiet intensity and a joyful, often playful spirit, Schickel pursues a cultural quest that is profoundly shaped by Jacques Maritain, Marc Chagall, Charles Eames, Emil Frei, Yves Simon, Miles Davis, Amanda Ambrose, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. He has pioneered a number of the most innovative conceptions in art and design. Now, at the height of his distinguished career, it is possible to survey and celebrate his many achievements. Sacred Passion features 168 full-color photographs highlighting Schickel's vast body of work in painting, sculpture, stained glass, furniture design, and architectural design.
