4.0 out of 5 stars
A well illustrated history of this rare art,
By (Joseph S. Wisniewski) the_wiz@earthlink.net (Livonia, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Point Engraving on Glass (The Decorative Arts Library) (Hardcover)
This book covers the almost lost art of point engraving on glass. The history is quite thorough, from the Romans to the Renaisance, to modern times. The photographs of point engraved glass are just incredible (as a point engraver myself, it's an extremely hard subject to photograph well). The author has included photographs of his own work, which do not dominate the book, but rather serve to illustrate that this a subject of which Mr. Whistler has great personal mastery. The bowl on page 63 is incredible.Beware, if you're looking to get started in teh field, this book is a history, not a how-to. Also, point engraving is an incredibly time consuming, thankless art. |
