ART GLASS BY ARCHIMEDE SEGUSO - 1991 1st Eng Ed Illustrated Exhibition Scarce DJ

Description: Art Glass by Archimede Segusoedited by Umberto Franzoi published at the occasion of the exhibition of the Palazzo Ducale June - September 1991A magnificent celebration of the art of one of the truest masters of Murano glassmaking. Deeply attached to the tradition of the glassmaker of the past centuries over a thousand years ago, Archimede Seguso nonetheless depicted in his art of impressive mastery and stunning talent, the troubled times in which he created his masterworks, the contradictions and painful evolution of taste during the two World Wars, and finally the science of modernity infused in his centuries-old art. "From laceworks to the 'massello' compositions, from 'latticinio' compositions to transparent glass lightly suffused with shaded colours: a due homage to a craft that from the small island of Murano has spread all over the world." (taken from DJ return) The lavish pictures will show Seguso's art in all its color and transparent delicacy, while an enlightening text complete with captions for all illustrations, will guide the reader in the appreciation of the work of an exceptional artist. 166 pages. 9 x 11.25 inches.Lavishly illustrated with full-color photographs.
