The Beatitudes is the title tradition has given to this most succinct series of blessings that came from the mouth of Jesus. An itinerant teacher, people marveled at how much he could say with so few words, the Beatitudes being prime example. These eight pithy sayings have been a source of inspiration and guidance for all time and world wide, ever since they were uttered. Here they are depicted for the first time in visual, graphic strength with the use of faces revealing emotion appropriate to and consistent with the statements and the promises of Jesus. Complementing the sense of completeness is the use of the full color spectrum as background. Then, added to the eight truths is one more painting, that of Jesus himself, rendered in the similar abstract approach as the rest, identifying as he always did, with all humanity.

Praise for The Beatitudes Series

Best selling author and speaker, Ann Voskamp, writes:

Hyatt Moore’s art embodies grace and the passion of Christ and is the only art that hangs in our home. His painting, View from Above, an abstract depiction of our Saviour on the cross, is one of my most meaningful life markers and hangs over our kitchen table. Every meal in our home is shared under that profoundly moving masterpiece.

Hyatt’s rendering of Jesus’ scarred hand taking the hand of doubting Thomas and pressing it into his wounds hangs in our bedroom and is the first thing I see every morning. The wounds of the day, of our souls, are healed only by His wounds.

And when I first laid eyes on Hyatt’s visual interpretations of the Beatitudes my heart split and leaked. Stilled and undone. Holy ground. How does looking into pigment on canvas feel like looking into the astonishing heart of Creator God?

That’s the unparalleled power of Hyatt’s paintings. They are fresh revelations of the unchanging Holy God on High that speak to the deepest caverns of the soul.
