Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting never before told in-in dept thought provoking perception by the writer touching upon the evolution of glass from its most prehistoric of form-naturally occurring volcanic glass: Humanity discovering its utilitarian use over the ages: and how two Muranese brothers noted Italian/American Glass Maestros and Artisians Alessandro and Roberto Moretti played an important role in the art form s contemporary 20th Century decorative development abroad. The writing contains over 220 spectacular eye-catching full colored vibrant graphics, photographs and images depicting their famous and noted glass works and early harrowing lives in the glass industry during pre-and post-World War II Europe. The narrative goes on to document their eventual exodus from their humble Muranese Italian homeland to other continents abroad-carrying with them the only thing they knew best-their art of glassmaking. The Morettis went on to become major contributors in the mid-1950 s modern Italian/American glass movement, while still retaining their culture. Many of these crystalline and vibrant colored art forms are displayed in the private collections of various Glass Galleries and Museums in the United States and abroad. Their unique executions; along with their courageous struggle pre-and post WWII; and personal history from childhood to adulthood with detailed captions will most definitely keep the reader captivated from the beginning to end.

Book excerpt: Bound like an artist's sketchbook this book documents the culmination of this amazing artistic odyssey that took the artist from his Seattle Boathouse hot shop to Nuutajarvi, Finland; Waterford, Ireland; Monterrey, Mexico; and finally Venice to blow glass. In the factories in those locations, Chihuly and his team of American glass blowers worked with native artisans more accustomed to making functional objects than art. Together they created the 14 chandeliers that graced the campos and canals of Venice for a remarkable time in September 1996. In her essay Dana Self, curator of the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art and Design, muses on the relationship of Chihuly's glass and 'The Spectacle of Beauty'. She concludes that Chihuly's fantastical explorations demonstrate that beauty does produce a meaningful experience of the world. Writer William Warmus chronicles the culmination of this two-year project with his diary entries. Full-colour photographs record for readers the installations as they were assembled. An extensive chronology traces the artist's career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sanford Gifford (American, 1823-1880), a leading Hudson River School landscape painter and a founder of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, was so esteemed by the New York art world that, at his untimely death, the Museum mounted a show of his work-the first monographic exhibition accorded any artist-and published a Memorial Catalogue that, for nearly a century, remained the principal source on his oeuvre. Gifford's art, which was inspired by the work of Thomas Cole, the founder of the Hudson River School, and by that of British artist J.M.W. Turner, and enriched by his travels in Europe (from 1855 to 1857, and from 1868 to 1869), came to be called "air painting," for he made the ambient light of each scene-color saturated and atmospherically potent-the key to its expression. His approach to painting and his unique style gave rise to a highly distinctive body of work with enchanting and mesmerizing effect. This publication examines seventy paintings by the artist and includes comparative illustrations of related works by Gifford, his Hudson River School mentors and colleagues, and those painters, in addition to Cole and Turner, who exerted influence on his art, including Frederic Edwin Church and John F. Kensett. The essays discuss Gifford's place in the Hudson River School, his numerous Catskill Mountain subjects, his experiences and perceptions as a traveler both at home and abroad, and the variety of his patrons. -- Metropolitan Museum of Art website.
