The Way of Art

By Joseph Campbell

In this living recording from The Theater of the Open Eye in New York City, the noted mythologist speaks about the way of the mystic and the way of the artist, mythology and metaphor, and the essence of the aesthetic experience. Campbell talks about humanity’s quest for meaning, understanding, and knowledge of the spiritual universe. In talking about art, he points out how truly inspirational moments in life have been captured in many of the great art pieces around the world.
