William Schickel: Spirit Made Manifest
William Schickel: Spirit Made Manifest traces the career of an artist from his student days at the University of Notre Dame in the 1940s to recent projects completed months before his death. For more than six decades, Schickel (1919-2009), has searched for beauty and expressed it in all artistic mediums including painting, drawing, printmaking, stained glass, furniture design, and sculpture most notably in conjunction with interiors he designed for both sacred and secular spaces. This exhibition includes photographs and architectural drawings of several of his major religious projects, including the transformation of an 1813 dairy barn into an inspiring worship space at Grailville, a Catholic community of laywomen in Loveland, Ohio and the renovated Gethsemani Abbey, Trappist, Kentucky, where he worked with the famed writer and monk Thomas Merton on the design. William Schickel's prolific career in creating independent works is exemplary, and Spirit Made Manifest features samples of his work from each period of his career.
