Art by Contemporary Jesuits

From the Winter 1995 print edition of Company

To expedite the loading of the images, the collection has been broken up into four parts.

Part 4 of 4.

When I Look at the Heavens ... (Psalm 8:3-4)

Colored pen on paper 11 3/4" x 17"

Fr. Daryl Cornish, SJ, meditates on a psalm, lets an image come, and tries to capture it in a drawing done with colored pens held in his mouth; multiple sclerosis has precluded the use of his hands. The difficulty of working this way taught him to concentrate on the essentials and results in the stark simplicity of his work.

Drink for the Thirsty

Oil on canvas 42" x 36"

Mr. Mark George, SJ, is in his second year of studies at Weston School of Theology in Cambridge, Mass. The life and especially the passion and death of Jesus are the subjects of many of his paintings; others focus on human suffering and compassion.

St. Cecilia

Acrylic on panel

Br. Jerome Pryor, SJ, teaches humanities at Xavier University in Cincinnati. A practicing artist who generally works in acrylic, he has also done restaurant murals, church interiors, sculpture, and stained glass.

Marine

Oil on canvas 88" x 68"

Fr. Michael Tunney, SJ, founded and directs the studio art program at Canisius College in Buffalo, where he began working after receiving an MFA from the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
