The three artists involved in this collaborative project-painters Makoto Fujimura and Bruce Herman, along with composer Christopher Theofanidis-responded to Four Quartets from a similar faith commitment to that of the poet, i.e., from a desire to see how faith in Christ can continue to inform works of art, music, and poetry in the 21st century. Jeremy Begbie, theologian and musician, joined the artists bringing theological focus and insight to this artistic and musical undertaking. Since the time of its composition, the poem has grown to be seen as a major milestone in Western literature.Ī collaboration in art, music, poetry, and theology Each of the four sections of the poem relate to a specific geographic location, and the last section, “Little Gidding,” (penned during the Blitz in London) points to a small village in Cambridgeshire. The poem was published initially as separate texts during the years leading up to and during the Second World War. Eliot’s Four Quartets is an epic four-part poem - a meditation on human mortality, time, and Christ’s redemptive love.
