Narcissus Quagliata

A beautiful hardcover containing 300 photographs of Narcissus Quagliata's work, as well as explanatory text and pieces by other artists. Beginning his studies in Rome and later completing his fine art studies at the Art Institute of San Francisco, Narcissus discovered glass as the most suitable material with which to express himself artistically. His interest in how art can transform the human image in the public and private sphere is central to his work. Narcissus is considered one of the world's most significant glass artists due to the volume and beauty of his commissioned pieces in public areas. "Taiwan Dome of Light," the largest illuminated glass ceiling in the world, and the glass dome in the Santa Maria degli Angeli church in Rome are just two of his best-known works. Archetypes and Visions in Light and Glass contains 300 full-color pictures of not only Narcissus Quagliata’s work, but other artists’ as well. Readers and artists will be delighted by this publication which details the symbiosis of glass art, architecture and painting. Hardcover with dust jacket, 248 pages, 9 1/2" x 11 3/4".
