Gabriel Argy-Rousseau created some of the most striking and characteristic glassware of the inter war years. Soon throwing off the Art Nouveau influences of his early work, he invented forms which epitomize the Art Deco style. The career of this remarkable genius is retraced in detail: his education, his inventiveness, his artistic development, his commercial success, and his later difficulties during the Depression years. This the first every monograph on the artist, brings his oeuvre back to full, sparkling life. With 528 illustrations, 159 in color. ** 229 pages. 9.5 x 11 inches. ** Postage for oversized and international shipping will be calculated by size and weight.
