Art and Meditation: Charles Marie Dulac and “The Canticle of Creatures”

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Join Brother Ignatius Feaver, artist, educator and member of the Capuchin Franciscan Order, for a meditative look at the prints and drawings of 19th century French artist, Charles Marie Dulac. Explore the relationship between art and spirituality and reflect on the mystical in Dulac's series of colour lithographs “The Canticle of Creatures”; nine original prints of exquisite beauty and mystery expressing the spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi. Dulac's intent as an artist was to invite the viewer, through his art, to a place of contemplating the mystery of creation and to focus on what is being evoked within.
