Description
Their method was to produce objects in series, as well as one-of-a-kind items, and they adapted well to the new technology of electric light bulbs. The vases and lamps usually had very simple designs taken from plants or vegetables, with monochrome or richly varied colors of many different layers of glass within the lamp.
The other major figure in glass art in Nancy was Émile Gallé. The work of Gallé was greatly varied, with a rich assortment of colors, designs, and materials, including glass, ceramics, crystal, porcelain, and faience. He experimented with different materials and a technique known as glass marqueterie, introducing into the hot glass pieces of different colored glass, powdered glass, metal, or gold. He was also very interested in Japanese art, borrowing techniques which he used to accomplish his own goals.
The critic Henri Franz wrote of Gallé in 1897, that while he used Japanese techniques, “nothing is farther from Japanese art. He only borrowed the expressions of Japanese art and remade them with skill and taste. Nature offered him an inexhaustible source of inspiration… When Gallé represented a plant, his immense artistic sensibility reduced it to its essence.”
