Biography

The sculptor Marc Hénard writes to Merton from Saint-Léger-Vauban, a town in Burgundy, France, which is also the home of the Benedictine Abbey of Pierre Qui Vire. He sends Merton some photographs of his work at Pierre Qui Vire and a photograph of a tower at the monastery at the request of Dom Angélico Surchamp, O.S.B., of La Pierre-qui-Vire Abbey. The material on sacred art is for "Art and Worship," an unpublished manuscript of a book Merton planned to publish on sacred art.
