Clearly Inspired: Contemporary Glass and Its Origins

Rating:
Summary: Provides ideas & inspiration for glass artists
Review: This is a great book for any glass artist seeking ideas & inspiration. It also makes a great coffee table book. It is in full-color & features a wide variety of beautiful, fused, blown, painted, lampworked & stained glass artwork.

Artwork is arranged by artist. Most have more than one example of their artwork shown, along with biographical information. Captions list the artist, title, date, size, techniques used, & photographer.

One of my favorite pieces is a nude woman lying down & resting her hands on her face. I also enjoyed two unique dragon stemmed glasses & a blue sand-carved vase with white flowers. The dragonfly bowl is also quite impressive.

A history of glass art with photos of antique pieces provides a prelude to the marvelous contemporary work that makes this book such a delight. The selections are outstanding and all beautifully photographed.
