| Summary: | "Celebrating fifty years of a master craftsman Arts and crafts help define a culture; they reflect people's values, beliefs, and the things they hold dear. Artistic Glass: One Studio and Fifty Years of Stained Glass is the first of its kind: a large format art book, contextualizing the history of stained glass in Canada and showcasing the life and work of Josef Aigner, an artist and master craftsman whose 50 year career has had a lasting impact on the Canadian art landscape. Written and photographed by the artist's daughter, Cloe Aigner, Artistic Glass presents a visually stunning showcase and unique insight into the world of stained glass. Celebrating the mastery, innovation, and skill underlying the art form, Artistic Glass illustrates the diverse use of age old and contemporary techniques behind the projects and reveals the processes of the artist, lifting the veil from this ancient craft. One of Canada's most pervasive public forms of art, stained glass is a tradition worth acknowledgement and celebration."-- |
