Radiance and Symbolism in Modern Stained Glass :
Cheney, Liana De Girolami.
Radiance and Symbolism in Modern Stained Glass : European and American Innovations and Aesthetic Interrelations in Material Culture. - Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2016. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
This book focuses on the aesthetic, symbolic, and cultural concepts of radiance and beauty in stained glass in modern art; global exchanges between stained-glass artists in Europe and the Americas; and the transformation of stained glass from religious decoration to secular material culture. Unique features of the book include its geographic breadth, encompassing England, France, Italy, USA, and Mexico, and its inclusion of American female glassmakers. Essays consider how stained glass became an art form during this time, and show how the narrative for the figurative design drew from the Bible, mythology, history, literature, and the symbolism of the time, including popular culture such as ecology and materiality. Written for students and the general public interested in the humanities, literature, history, art history, and new media and popular culture, this book examines the visual beauty and symbolism of stained-glass windows in Europe and American cultures during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries--the modern era.
