Sacred Passion surveys the life and career of William Schickel, one of the most distinguished, versatile, and spiritual artists at work in America today. For over four decades, Schickel has brought his deep personal faith and skills as an artist and designer to bear upon the needs of a variety of diverse communities. As is the case in most effective designs, Schickel’s works do not call attention to his own personality as artist; rather, they serve the larger needs of the community. Nonetheless, over the years he has pioneered a number of the most innovative conceptions in art and design. He has brought his imagination to bear on projects both sacred and secular. Now, at the height of his distinguished career, it is possible to survey and celebrate his achievements.
Published by the University of Notre Dame Press, Sacred Passion features 168 stunning full-color photographs highlighting Schickel's vast body of work, from painting and sculpture to architectural design and liturgical objects.
