Carl Schmitt, Painter of Vision–Andrew de Sa

October 17, 2018

American Catholic painter Karl Schmidt (1889-1989) made an attractive innovation in the use of colour. He wrote extensively about the artist’s profession, seeking holiness by practicing art rather than the opposite way, and advocating for the three virtues of poverty, humility and purity as the necessity for all artists to follow. He inspired artists from other media such as Hilaire Belloc and Hart Crane. He did all this while raising 10 children. Andrew de Sa, creative director of the Carl Schmitt Foundation, educates us about this artist who is content to draw obscurely for God.
