EMILE GALLE: DREAMS INTO GLASS William Warmus ART GLASS Exhibit Photos 1984
This book “EMILE GALLE: DREAMS INTO GLASS” by William Warmus was created in conjunction with art exhibit at Corning Museum of Glass. Also in cooperation with the Musee de l’Ecole de Nancy, and supported in part by a grant from the National Endowment of the Arts and an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and Humanities. This important, visually stunning 191 page book contains glossy color photos. 1984 First Edition.
This book features forty objects representing the work of the Art Nouveau glassmaker Emile Gallé, and explains the influence of nature, impressionism, and symbolism and the imaginative use of many glassmaking techniques. Included are translations of Gallé’s own writings on many of the objects.
Says the author: “The photographs and catalog…portray a man of his time who probed beyond his time and one who both drew from glass and imposed his philosophy upon it. Gallé makes us look at his vases not only as fantastic works of art but as purveyors of his own heightened sense of the symbolism of nature and the value of human endeavor.”
