This is the first catalogue to appear in the newly launched
American Corpus Vitrearum series. The collections in Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Ohio include almost 200 panels of stained
glass. The largest group is to be found in the Detroit Institute of
Art; others are in the University of Michigan Museum of Art, Ann
Arbor; the Cathedral Church of Saint Paul in Detroit; the Edsel and
Eleanor Ford House and Cranbrook Academy of Art Museum. In Ohio,
the Cleveland Museum of Art owns interesting panels, as does the
Toledo Museum of Art. The glass in the Art Institue in Chicago is
also catalogued here. The volumes offer the essential 'state of the
question' of glass conservation as well as comprehensive
contextual, iconographic and stylistic descriptions. The
introduction discusses the nature of stained glass, its function as
an art-form, as monumental art, and its relationship to
architecture and other art-forms of the medieval and Renaissance
periods. The authors touch particularly on cross-disciplinary
issues, since the nature of the American glass collections is able
to yield fascinating information on the history of changing taste,
the social status of the collectors, thier attitudes towards
religion, and the development of public museums in the nineteenth
and twentieth centuries. Every panel catalogued is also fully
illustrated, generally with several details, and frequently with
comparative examples. This two-volume catalogue lists the panels of
stained glass in the collections of the Midwest States and offers
the essential 'state of the question'of glass conservation as well
as comprehensive contextual, iconographic and stylistic
descriptions.
