4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent gathering of Piper's stained glass, December 8, 1997
This review is from: John Piper and Stained Glass (Hardcover)
The author places John Piper and his work into the historical continuum of stained glass so that we appreciate the great contribution he has made in design, creative advance and the fearless use of modern materials. She does not assume technical knowledge on the reader's part and so gives clear descriptions of processes and materials. The net outcome of the book is to give Piper the recognition he deserves not only as a stained-glass artist but also as one of the leading - if comparatively under-rated - English artists of the 20th century. The book is profusely illustrated in colour the only let-down being the quality of some of the photographs, too many are either not sharp or over-exposed. Thus a rating of 7.
