Description
PAINTINGS BY FR CYRIL AXELROD, COMPILED BY FR LARRY KAUFMANN
A book of paintings by deafblind Rabbi-Priest Cyril Axelrod with reflections on each painting by friends who know him.
Fr Cyril celebrates 50 years as a priest in November 2020 and this book has been compiled as a tribute to him and his amazing life.
“Cyril has never seen a single painting which he himself created. Instead, he invites you to use your own gift of eyesight to see them.
But beyond that, to experience them with “heart-sight”, as he does.
Terry Campbell –
This book is unique because the artist is unique. Can you imagine a collection of beautiful paintings done by someone who is completely deaf and completely blind? Someone who is born Jewish and is a Catholic priest today? Who calls himself Rabbi-Father Cyril?
Edited by his friend Father Larry Kaufmann, this book brings together a collection, not only of Fr Cyril’s paintings, but also written reflections and meditations on them by different people. Some know Fr Cyril, some don’t, but all of them look past the fact that Cyril is Deafblind and simply allow each painting to speak for itself.
What more can one say? This book is pure inspiration.
