Editorial Reviews: Product Description The works of the Tiffany Studios revolutionized interior design in turn-of-the-century America. All of the company's works-from stained-glass windows to blown-glass vases; lamp shades to inkwells-bore the unique stamp of one man, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created the Tiffany Studios and supervised every aspect of their production. Many of these official studio pieces are well known today-avidly sought by museums and collectors worldwide. Special ones among them, as well as other lesser known pieces-the "lost" works of Louis Tiffany himself-are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal oeuvre-the objects made from his original designs for exhibition, for private commissions, or for use in Tiffany's own homes. This book reevaluates Tiffany's art in terms of his personal work-including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the course of his prolific career; stained glass, of course, but also mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany's pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his dream of creating a permanent residential retreat for working artists. Hugh F. McKean also provides much intimate insight into Tiffany's personality, his domestic life, his financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art. Lavishly illustrated, the book presents a vivid display of Tiffany's wide-ranging aesthetic. The result is a rare portrait of Tiffany the man-and of the prodigious imagination that almost single-handedly transformed the day-to-day image of a nation and an era.

Customer Reviews: True Treasures May 12, 2007 1 out of 2 found this review helpful An excellent pictorial review of the works and life of Louis Tiffany. Lots of details about his works. A "must" for readers who admire the beauty of Tiffany July 8, 2002 15 out of 16 found this review helpful The "Lost" Treasures of Louis Comfort Tiffany is a dazzling artbook showcasing paintings, jewelry, glass windows, and many more wondrous works of the Tiffany studios in vibrant full color. Out of print for many years, this superbly presented Schiffer Publishing edition is a much appreciated contribution for contemporary readers with its more tan 200 color plates showcasing windows, paintings, lamps, vases as true and enduring works of fine art. The extensive and informative text evaluates Tiffany's art in personal as well as aesthetic and humanistic terms. A "must" for readers who admire the beauty of Tiffany creations, The "Lost" Treasures Of Louis Comfort Tiffany is a welcome and highly recommended addition to personal, professional, academic, and community library reference collections.
