Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book devoted to Tiffany lamps in more than 20 years. Experts in the field have made a selection of exceptional lamps-many of which have rarely been seen or published-and each one has been newly photographed with the latest photographic techniques to reveal in extraordinary detail the artistic quality and high craftsmanship of these masterpieces of decorative art. Martin Eidelberg and Alice Cooney Frelinghuysen have contributed essays on the history of the lamps, enlarging our understanding of Louis Comfort Tiffany's achievement. They have also drawn upon a host of previously unpublished photographs, paintings, and watercolors by Tiffany and other artists in his employ, as well as on working drawings and studio photographs, to evoke the lost gardens and interiors of Tiffany's country estate, Laurelton Hall, that so inspired him. They outline the development and manufacture of the Tiffany lamp from freehand sketch to the finished form, as well as the chief decorative themes in Tiffany's glass masterpieces and their relation to the work of other fin de sihcle glassmakers. In this book, light, color, and the inspiration of nature co-mingle to produce a deliciously sensuous experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A jeweler with an established reputation through the world, Louis Comfort Tiffany was the spearhead of the Art Nouveau movement in the United States. At a time and in a country in perpetual growth, Tiffany succeeded in elevating the decorative to the rank of fine art. Glass was the field of expertise of Tiffany’s workshops. There they developed groundbreaking techniques of treatment which produced beautiful effects on glass. Following the examples of Gallé or Daum, Tiffany made the most of this material: playing with colors, opaqueness and transparency... However, his most famous success is his lamps in mosaic of glass, similar to the cathedral’s stained glass window. Diving into this prism of colors, the author makes us dream again of the birth of this enduring company.

Download or read book THE WAY IT WAS written by G.H. MCMAHON and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-11-03 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE WAY IT WAS is a compilation of several non-fiction short stories, at various periods in the past of a woman's and her family's lives. At times, it may seem like extraordinary happenings to the people of these stories, but they did happen. The stories represent truthful views of a family that were, at times, hilarious, poignant, heartwarming, thoughtful and sometimes sad. These short stories are thought provoking with touches of humor and a bit of satire. These stories take place in an extraordinary period in history, several years before World War II, and a few years after two other wars; They happened when most women did not do the things that the grandmother did in her stories, and at other times what a mother accomplished when most women did not have executive positions in traditionally heavy industrial manufacturing male oriented companies. The woman in these unique stories had the courage and the intestinal fortitude to carry on through many discouraging times and still find the humor to laugh at herself. The young man, a typical young and naive teenager, shows ingenuity and drive, which showed up in later years again, when he received the Bronze Star for his service to our country. A story that has yet to be told. The sister blazed a trail to be one of the first in her field for a major company. There are lessons for the young to learn and a verification of life as it was, or could, have been by elders. It is also the process of a written history to the families of the people in days, long past. The stories show that good stories can and are written that do not have to be filled with unsuitable language or sex to be exciting and interesting.
