AMERICAN ART NOUVEAU GLASS . By Albert Christian Revi, Thomas Nelson & Son, NJ, 1968.
The closing years of the nineteenth century witnessed more radical changes in the decorative arts than the whole previous century. Identified as Art Nouveau , this rebellion began about 1890 and continued for nearly thirty-five years. This rebellion was most evident in the art glass produced during this period by such notables as Tiffany, Nash, Durand, Steuben, Handel, and others. This book reviews in fascinating detail the history and accomplishments of these firms and others.
