    About this ebook

    The Way of the Artist is a thought-provoking collection of essays and photographs by Barry Behrstock, who gives us an inside look at the life, art, home and collections of legendary glass artist Richard Marquis. This eclectic journey of the eye and mind takes the reader from Melville to Proust, math to physics, metaphor to fantasy, while exploring Marquis's way of life as representative of a life well lived,-which the author characterizes as filled with creativity, lived in the present, and in tune with the rhythms of nature. Artist Marquis is an apt avatar of the creative life, as seen in the photographs of his glass work and the exquisite collections of ordinary objects in his home, including bowling balls, oilcans, fishing poles, and other cast-off items. Behrstock brings the reader into the game as he muses on Marquis's creativity and shares thoughts from Eastern philosophy, quantum physics, and his own experience to highlight and celebrate each individual's unique importance in the creative human equation.
