This long-awaited volume brings together much of Brian O'Doherty's
most influential writing, including essays on major figures such as
Edward Hopper, Mark Rothko, and Andy Warhol, and a substantial
follow-up to his iconic Inside the White Cube. New pieces
specifically authored for this collection include a meditation on
O'Doherty's various alternate personae-most notably Patrick
Ireland-and a reflection on his seminal "Highway to Las Vegas" from
1972, penned after a return visit in 2012. The beautifully written
texts, many of which have been unavailable in print, are
insightfully introduced by art historian Anne-Marie Bonnet and
complemented by forty-five color illustrations of artwork discussed
in the essays as well as documentary photographs of O'Doherty and
other major art-world figures. Adventurous, original, and
essentially O'Doherty, this collection reveals his provocative
charm and enduring influence as a public intellectual.
Lent in 50 Moments comprises meditations on fifty daily moments -
ideas, objects, or happenings frozen in time - offered as signposts
and guidance for our Lenten journey. The moments have been chosen
by Liam Kelly, who has written a reflection for every day, and a
question for prayerful response. He has also chosen a quotation to
prompt further thought, and provides biblical references for each
day's readings at Mass in the Catholic Church. Each of the fifty
moments has been skilfully illustrated by artist Ted Harrison. The
book as a whole provides a unique, stimulating and visually
memorable companion for faith and reflection during Lent and
Eastertide.
Introduces the sacraments and then examines each one in turn,
giving their historical background and assessing their value and
importance.
** Suitable for online learning and study ** At its heart, the
Oscar and BAFTA-nominated film The Two Popes is not about Pope
Francis and Pope Benedict XVI. It is about two men, who happen to
be religious figures, exploring a number of themes that are at the
heart of being human, of faith and belief: ‘the journey’,
listening, change, mercy, loneliness and love. The Glorious Journey
provides an opportunity to watch The Two Popes with such themes in
mind; to read, reflect and discuss what we can learn from it about
human nature and values. Liam Kelly opens each of the six chapters
with a suggestion of a short clip from the film to watch, then
provides thought-provoking reflections, including questions to
prompt your own response. Each chapter ends with a prayer. The
Glorious Journey is designed to be used individually or as part of
a regular group discussion. It could be adapted for use as the
basis of a seasonal course for Lent or Advent.
