| Louis
Comfort Tiffany - son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, who founded
the jewelry store Tiffany and Co., - began his artistic career
as a painter. As a young man he headed an interior design
firm, and then went on to found Tiffany Studios, where skilled
artists and artisans created works under his direction. In
his designs Tiffany incorporated landscapes, exquisite floral
patterns, and other natural forms in a spectrum of distinctly
rich hues. Tiffany's exquisite craftsmanship, artistic innovation,
and reverence for natural beauty made him one of the most
influential designers of the past two centuries.
The thirty
full-colour images presented here are from The Charles Hosmer
Morse Museum of American Art in Winter Park, Florida, home
to one of the world's most comprehensive Tiffany collections.
