Sights & Insights: The Art & Heart of John E. Heiss John E Heiss Lrg edition

This book brings together some of John E. Heiss's fascinating multi-layered glass designs depicting human beings involved in both solitary and mutual pursuits. Almost without exception the leaded glass designs focus on the physique of the human body engaged in toil, sport, and relationships. When each picture is stared at long enough, various interpretations come to mind. You will enjoy the colors and complexity of the works, and how each picture captures the attention and hypnotizes. This attractive paperback is large enough to be spread out on your lap so that the amazing pictures can be viewed and contemplated in context of the text that accompanies each one. Most of the text is very simple and eloquent, as in, for instance, "Caught in the web of procrastination, we wait too long to let our spirit guide."
