John August Swanson Collection - Story of Ruth

John August SwansonÔÇÖs art reflects the strong heritage of storytelling he inherited from his Mexican mother and Swedish father. Fr. SwansonÔÇÖs narrative is direct and easily understood. He addresses human values, cultural roots, and the quest for self-discovery through visual images. All his parables optimistically embrace life and oneÔÇÖs spiritual transformation. Mr. SwansonÔÇÖs art is represented in the permanent collections of many museums, including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art and the Vatican MuseumsÔÇÖ Collection of Modern Religious Art. Vanderbilt is fortunate to have worked with Fr. Swanson, making his art available internationally through the Creative Commons RCL-ACT websites.
