'' Glass has proved to be a material particularly sympathetic to be a modern artist-designer - to use that term in its widest connotation. From the time of Emile Galle, in the third quarter of the nineteenth century, right up to the present day, glass has consistently appealed to artists - often those brought up to work in quite different media - as an ideal material fot the embodiment of contomporary art-forms, whether those of the Art Nouveau or those of Functionalism. Polak surveys with great analytic mastery these succesive movements, the artists who worked within them, and the different types of glass which they produced. Her survey ranges from the triumph of the great French masters, Galle and Rousseau, in the heyday of the Art Nouveau, up to the day before yesterday, when the palm for glass design had passed into the hands of Finns, Italians and Swedes. The illustrations pass in review a perhaps unparalleled series of glassmasterpieces ''. Samma fraktpris oavsett antal titlar du beställer av mig.
