The works of the Tiffany Studios revolutionized interior design in
turn-of-the-century America. All of the company's works-from
stained-glass windows to blown-glass vases; lamp shades to
inkwells-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 worldwide.
Special ones among them, as well as other lesser known pieces-the
"lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself-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, or for use in Tiffany's own homes. This
book reevaluates Tiffany's art in terms of his personal
work-including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the
course of his prolific career; stained glass, of course, but also
mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany's
pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel
paintings and his dream of creating a permanent residential retreat
for working artists. Hugh F. McKean also provides much intimate
insight into Tiffany's personality, his domestic life, his
financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art. Lavishly
illustrated, the book presents 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
single-handedly transformed the day-to-day image of a nation and an
era.
