Opening the Gift
OPENING THE GIFT is a recent publication summarizing the biography of Brother Kenneth Chapman, CFC, and offering an introduction to his art.
It joins BROTHER KENNETH CHAPMAN ARTIST AND TEACHER, by Brother Stain McGuire, CFC, as presentations of the work and spirituality of the artist. Both serve to reveal the richness that awaits either a casual viewer, or a dedicated student of art.
Both booklets are copyrighted.

Brother Kenneth Chapman – Teacher and Artist
The Brother Arthur A. Loftus Visiting Scholar at Iona College for the academic year 1995 was Brother Stanis McGuire, CFC, originally from Australia, and for many years the Brothers' representative in the Prefettura of the Papal Household in Vatican City.
Br. McGuire, now deceased, dedicated his research to the art of Brother Kenneth Chapman, CFC.
The culmination of the work was a booklet with commentary and rich reproductions of many of the Chapman originals.
Out of print and hoarded by those fortunate to have obtained a copy, the work, thanks to the Edmund Rice Christian Brothers Art Foundation, is now accessible to everyone on this digital version below.
