For Lino Tagliapietra, glass art represents his life: Venice and the lagoon, its shadow and light. "It is part of my culture, my brain, my blood," he says. Raised on the island of Murano, Tagliapietra rose from a working class family and a minimal education to become an internationally acknowledged glass artist and maestro, an honor given to the most highly recognized of Italian glassmakers.

Tagliapietra worked exclusively on Murano until coming to the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington at the invitation of Benjamin Moore in 1979. Working with unfamiliar tools and speaking no English, Tagliapietra created unique pieces of glass using techniques that had rarely, if ever, been seen in the United States at that time. Despite the tradition of secrecy surrounding Italian glassblowing, he imparted knowledge to his students and colleagues, believing that keeping tradition and history alive is of the greatest importance.

While he was not the first to leave the island and its glass companies for independent work, Tagliapietra did become the first Murano artist to experience widespread international recognition, particularly in the United States. He combines techniques that are rooted in the thousand-year-old Venetian glassmaking tradition and brings fresh and creative perspectives to art in glass. Tagliapietra's work stands within the grandest tradition of the decorative arts, an honored discipline of unabashed beauty and exquisite craftsmanship.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Excellent - 55555
In glass-blowing art, Lino Tagliapietra is the master. While having seen other beautiful pieces from other artists, I can only conclude that Lino's work is a level above. The book is great because it shows all pieces from the traveling exhibition throughout different museums. I had the chance to visit the exhibition in PAlm Springs. What a delight!
As for the Amazon delivery, it was perfect. And mind you the price difference as well. Great purchase.

LINO TADLIAPETRA IN RETROSPEC - 55555
EXCELLENT SERVICE! TAGLIAPETRA IS A GENIUS WITH GLSS! THE BOOK IS A BEAUTIFUL PRESENTATION OF HIS WORKS.


Beautiful book and great (included) DVD - 55555
This is a beautiful book that highlights Tagliapietra's work.

The unexpected bonus was a DVD included at the back of the book, that demonstrates how many of the glassworks were made.

For people who love glass (i.e., Chihuly fans, etc.), you'll love this book and DVD.


The dvd alone is worth it - 55555
This is a great coffee table book of Lino's work, but the dvd that comes with it is really the keeper as it is a wonderfully done testimony to his influence, genius and his lack of ego and great heart. I am a glass blower/artist myself, and simply can't rave on enough about how the dvd documentarey provides added value by virtue of historical context, but more importantly showing Lino as a man of great kindness, passion and humility. A nice contrast to the 'rock start' mentality in the hyper-competative glass art scene...
