Abstract

This work shows a historic-artistic analysis on the technological and cultural influences of the glass artworks of the 1800-1950 period on the so-called Studio Glass Movement. Blown glass artworks depend on both the state of the art of the glass technology and the experience and creative skills of the artist. During 1800-1950 blown glass artworks experienced an important boost due to the technical and scientific development of this material. The glass became the main character of Art Nouveau and Art Déco tendencies, and nowadays possesses a preferential position in both contemporary sculpture and decorative arts. Such glass artworks strongly contributed to the born and growth of the Studio Glass Movement, the contemporary tendency with higher sculptural impact. Technical and artistic properties of representative glass artworks from factories, workshops or schools from the countries where they were developed are described. Likewise, the contemporary glass sculpture characteristics are revealed showing their connection to traditional creation techniques and the glassmakers artistic experience transmission.
