I agree with all u wrote, but the center of his work is drawn from Wisdom books. Not Godless rather

seeing the ruin of souls resulting from aimlessness [thus the West as perfect stage].

Like Cezanne, he is in wonder of Creation, and the evil men have brought. I think of the sheer prose of

Sam Becket in his trilogy, expressing what the sculpture of Giacometti bring to life. With no diminishment of the actual [which is very Catholic] the very composition is the song of hope which the stories do not for fill. Cezanne too, praised via his craft.
