Clearly Inspired: Contemporary Glass and Its Origins

by Tampa Museum Of Art and Chambers

Clearly Inspired: Contemporary Glass and Its Origins Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

For five thousand years, artisans have worked in glass to create forms that serve and delight. But only recently have artists turned their hands and minds to this traditionally utilitarian and decorative material. Clearly Inspired: Contemporary Glass and Its Origins contrasts the work of contemporary glass artists with examples of earlier glass that have inspired them to rediscover or reinvent forgotten techniques. Transforming an ancient craft into a contemporary art, they honor the past while making visual statements that are very much of our time.
