Glassmakers of the Art Nouveau, Arts and Crafts, and Art Deco Periods

The glasswork of the Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods is among the most elegant and extravagant in decorative art history. In this course, we explore the prolific glass designers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, such as Louis Comfort Tiffany, Emile Gallé, René Lalique and others. Their opulent designs in vases, goblets, lamps, stained glass, and other objets d’art set artistic standards in creativity, beauty and luxury in the art of glassmaking. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to the video for 30 days.
