Tiffany Louis Dr. Hecimovich English 253 Victorian Serial Publishing: Origins and Implications. A number of factors attributed to the fact that the majority of Victorians could not afford to buy books, including an alliance between publishers and circulating libraries that purposely kept the price of new fiction high, maximizing profits for publishers. The slow and involved process that book making demanded also served to inflate prices, until technology advanced to a point that helped speed the bookmaking process. The invention of the steam-driven printing press was one technological advancement that improved and cheapened the cost of book making. This machine, in use by 1816, was able to produce six times as many copies per hour than the manual press did. By 1837, the Fourdrinier cylindrical paper-making machine was put into use and was able to produce six miles of paper each day. This advancement was key to reducing publishing costs, as the paper that was produced was not only produced faster, but it was twice the size of sheets produced previously. This meant that printers were able to impress 32 pages at once instead of 16, and because taxes were assessed by the sheet and not the page, they owed one-half the taxes that they previously would have for the same quantity of output. Stereotyping was another means of reducing time and costs for printers that was to become very valuable to serial publishing. Stereotyping involved creating a cast of the movable type from plaster or paper mache and molding a sheet of type metal from that, allowing the movable type to be free for other projects while maintaining a fixed copy to print from and to store for future uses. When serial literature became popular, stereotyping allowed the printer to print fewer copies initially to avoid the risk of having to store them, and to return to earlier installments to print later as demand increased.

LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY, TIFFANY STUDIOS LAMPS, AND FAVRILE GLASS LOUIS COMFORT TIFFANY BIOGRAPHY: Louis Comfort Tiffany was born on January 17, 1848, the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, and began his career as a painter in the 1860s and 1870s. His father Charles ahd founded the most prestigious jewelry and silver store in America, so young Louis grew up surrounded by the decorative arts. After studying under the American landscape painter George Inness, Tiffany learned to combine the use of light, color and nature in his work. He received praise for his oils and watercolors, which included scenes from his travels in Europe and North Africa. By 1880, Tiffany had established himself as a artist and became the youngest member of the National Academy of Design. Already at this young age, Tiffany dedicated his life to "the pursuit of beauty."

Glassmasters works of art come with a certificate and a chain to hang them by. Glass has been a decorative medium in architecture since the days of Rome. Today it is still considered a truly universal medium. Unlike canvas, stained glass has a life of its own, changing form and color as light changes throughout the day.

Louis Comfort Tiffany was one of the greatest of the American artists making glass, pottery, jewelry, enamel on copper, and other salable works of art. He was born in New York City and studied art in New York and Paris. For a time he remained in Europe, painting oils and watercolors. Among his most outstanding paintings is Snake Charmer at Tangiers (1915?, Metropolitan Museum, New York City). Returning to New York he turned his attention to media other than paints. The Tiffany metal furnaces of Corona, NY, were started in 1898 and experiments in making pottery began the same year. Tiffany added shades to wide-mouthed ceramic vases purchased from Grueby and other leading art potteries. He continued to purchased ceramics even after Tiffany studios established its own ceramic division in 1905. That same year his firm began to make lamp bases for his Favrile glass shades . The bases were deep ivory-shaded brown. Later bases were green, and a few white or coated with bronze. Many had matte glazes. All were marked "LCT" on the bottom. The

THE LAMPS OF TIFFANY: Louis Comfort Tiffany (1848-1933) was the son of Charles Lewis Tiffany, the legendary founder of the silver and jewelry firm, Tiffany and Co. Louis chose to pursue his love of art instead of following in the family business, gaining acclaim for his oils and watercolors in the 1860s and 1870s. In the 1880s, however, he turned his attention to interior design as "a way to provide good art for American homes." His remarkable career spanned 57 years. In addition to bringing beauty to the masses, Tiffany also made discoveries in the process for formulating glass. Tiffany developed a unique process that created bolder colors, opalescent sheens and a broader range of textures for artisans. He patented four types of glass over a period of two decades and worked with teams of craftsmen to manufacture stained-glass windows, lamps and lamp bases.

By the mid-1890s, the issue between these two great artists had become one of seniority: which of them had first introduced opalescent glass in stained glass windows? The question has remained to this day, with every succeeding generation of books and articles on each artist claiming pride of invention. But historical research provides the answer, along with the reason for the question in the first place. Hubris, financial and social disaster, opportunism, and ultimately market share are in large part the explanation. Prior to 1882, relations between the two artists were not acrimonious. Writing many years later, La Farge related that Tiffany had visited him in the 1870s. La Farge had willingly shown him his experiments with opalescent glass and plating (the layering of one piece over another to achieve colors or effects), clearly establishing that it was he who introduced Tiffany to the material. If we accept La Farge's recollections that he and Tiffany were on apparently good terms at that time, friendly enough for La Farge to show the young artist his work, clearly something went wrong after that.

Dialogue by Mark:
A laser device, which by the way stands for "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission Radiation"...a laser uses light to do some sort of work, like play your CD disk or help a doctor do a delicate operation. In today's Masters' Gallery we are treated to an artwork that also uses light...light shining right through the picture. It's a stained glass window built by Louis Tiffany in 1904.
Tiffany is the most famous stained glass artist of all times. When he was a young painter, he decided to decorate the windows in his studio. He wanted to use colored glass like he'd seen in the old cathedrals in Europe. But no one made glass like that any more. Tiffany researched how glass was made. he discovered that different minerals and impurities in the glass careated different colors. When the glass factories refused to make glass like this, Tiffany built furnaces and made his own.
Glass im made by melting minerals together with high heat. The melted glass can be shaped into vases or bottles, or poured out flat to make sheets. Once the glass is cooled, it can be cut into pieces.
It took hundred of pieces of stained glass to build Angel of the Resurrection. Some pieces are big, like the blue over the angel's head. Other pieces are very small, like the feathers in her wings. Some of the glass is painted, like the face and the lettering across the side windows. Every piece of glass is set into a metal framework to create the window.

Louis Comfort Tiffany
Louis Comfort Tiffany, one of the most creative and prolific designers of the late 19th century, declared that his life-long goal was "the pursuit of beauty." With its comprehensive assemblage of Tiffany's work, the Morse Museum's collection uniquely documents that quest. Although his father, Charles Lewis, had founded the most prestigious silver and jewelry company in America, Louis chose another professional direction. Originally trained as a painter, he began studying the chemistry and techniques of glassmaking when he was 24. He developed this interest as a partner in the firm of Louis C. Tiffany and Associated Artists, which in its four years of operation (1879-1883) provided innovative interior decoration for clients ranging from Mark Twain in Hartford, Connecticut to President Chester Arthur at the White House. Both schools thought that they alone were being "truthful," an ideal central to the philosophy of the Arts and Crafts movement. Equally important was the goal of design unity. First manifested in his efforts to create complete interiors, Tiffany's commitment to unity was extended to the design and manufacture of stained glass. The leading necessary to hold the pieces of glass together became a fully integrated design element, simulating, for example, the stems of plants. And Tiffany was convinced that the actual production of a stained-glass window required the artist's involvement at every stage, even in a factory setting-from creating the first sketches to overseeing how the glass was selected, cut and assembled.
