In this conversation with Renaissance man, Jack Leissring, we discuss the sacred labyrinth, how it relates to the human condition, and how he has used his passion for art to create a world class art collection.
For Mr. Leissring, the labyrinth, which in mythology, was built to contain the Minotaur - (half-man/ half-beast) - is a potent symbol for the human condition and the search for meaning. Few people know more about the labyrinth than my guest, Jack Leissring, who has built four of them.
This is a story about a man who fell so deeply in love with art that he designed his world around collecting art - and creating it.
In Part One, we learn about the myth of King Minos and the minotaur and the maze that Daedalus created to contain the beast. We go on to discuss the early influences that shaped Mr. Leissring’s passion for art and design.
You will also hear some excerpts of Leissring playing his original compositions on piano.
Jack Leissring’s world class collection of over 4000 artworks includes over 470 artists, such as Duchamp’s brother Jacques Villon, John Sloan, James Spitzer, Warrington Colescott, local artist Maria de los Angles, and Jerrold Ballaine, among many others.
