The "Lost" Treasures of Louis Comfort Tiffany by Hugh F. McKean

The works of the Tiffanay Studios revolutionized interior design in turn-of-the-century AMerica, and all of the works - from stained glass windows to blown-glass vases; lamp shades to ink well - wells - bore the unique stamp of one man, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created the Tiffany Studios and supervised every aspect of their production Many of these official studio pieces are well known today - avidly sought by museums and collectors all over the world. But there are special ones among them, as well as other Tiffany pieces not so well known - the "lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself that are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal oeuvre the objects made from his original designs for exhibition, for private commissions for the studios or for use in Tiffany's own home. This book sets out to re-evaluate Tiffany's art in terms of his personal work. This work is lavishly illustrated with over 200 color plates and over 60 black and white photographs, presenting a vivid display of Tiffany's wide-ranging aesthetic. The result is a rare portrait of Tiffany the man and of the prodigious imagination that almost singlehandedly transformed the day - to - day image of a nation & era. In good used condition.
