In more recent centuries an art of protest has used distortion and intentional ugliness to awaken viewers to the suffering and injustice around them.

Leo O'Donovan, S.J., President emeritus of Georgetown University and noted art critic will be in Denver to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Creator Mundi. Fr. O'Donovan will speak on the "The Seduction of the Sacred." Fr. O'Donovan is also the past president of Catholic Theological Society of America. He was a student of Fr. Karl Rahner, S.J. at the University of Muenster and has written extensively about him, including an introductory volume, A World of Grace. He is a frequent contributor of articles on art criticism to America, Commonweal, The Washingtonian, the Los Angeles Times, and the National Catholic Reporter. In 2003 Fr. O'Donovan authored an article in America about the enamel art work of Egino Weinert. Recently in collaboration with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Fr. O'Donovan presented a series of lectures at the New York Church of St Ignatius Loyola entitled "Finding God In All the Galleries." The series reflected on great art to learn how art and faith enlighten each other.
