Description: ALL MY EYES SEEThe Artistic Vocation of Fr. William Hart McNichols Christopher Pramuk and William Hart McNicholsForeword by Robert EllsbergFather William Hart McNichols is widely known as one of the worldA?s most gifted living religious artists and iconographers. A former Jesuit and student of the famed Franciscan iconographer Robert Lentz, Fr. BillA?s icons have been honored with exhibitions in major U.S. cities and the subject of a full-length documentary. Recently his years of ministry to the dying during the AIDS crisis in New York City were the focus of a podcast, and later a book, by journalist Michael OA?Laughlin. Through interviews with writer and theologian Chris Pramuk, Fr. Bill shares the moving story of his early loneliness and sense of being set apart for some purposeA?a purpose realized in his twin vocations as priest and artist. From early childhood, his art expressed his inner life, with special attention to the beauty of the world, the vulnerability of children, and GodA?s compassionate solidarity with those who suffer. During his AIDS ministry, this took new focus with such works as his A?AIDS Crucifixion.A? Later, after apprenticeship with iconographer Robert Lentz, he began a new life, producing hundreds of icons of Christ, Mary, the saints, and many holy people of our time. More than a catalog of an artistA?s work All My Eyes See is a deep journey into the heart of a great spiritual teacher.
