The other week I found a secondhand copy of William Dyrness's Rouault: A Vision of Suffering and Salvation in a good little secondhand bookshop on the way to Ditchingham. It is the first book I have found that takes a detailed look at the way in which Rouault's faith and art were intertwined. As well as that, I find that Rouault's work and this book have inspired certain artists to work among poor communities in today's world.
Joel Klepac is a US artist living and working in Romania who has created a blog called "Art in Community Among the Poor" that displays some of his work as he engages life and creates art among the poor. On his blog, together with links to other artists doing similar work, is the story of how he has been inspired by Rouault and Dyrness's book.
