'Beauty and Christianity' - Robert Kiely
Robert has long been one of the most popular teachers at Harvard University because of the depth of his knowledge but also the liveliness and art of his own teaching gift that fully engages his audience. His session will be illustrated with paintings and music. Colour, skill and perspective allow the inner beauty to take form before our eyes.
Roberty Kiely, emeritus Professor of English and American Literature at Harvard University, has been part of the WCCM community for many years. His book Blessed and Beautiful (Yale 2010) offered a reflection on the lives of saints and the images painted by great artists through history. His own contemplative experience shines through this and his latest book Fair Jesus (Paraclete Press 2019) in which he walks through scenes of the Gospels, pausing with great painters to consider Jesus, how he looks, how he stands or sits, how he interacts with other figures and the viewer, and how his actions and teachings are interpreted and translated by artists.
