Michael Taylor A Geometry of Meaning
Tina Oldknow, Robert C. Morgan, William Warmus
As one of the pioneers of glass art, Michael Taylor helped open the door for glass as a creative means of expression. His original vision as a glass artist offers a way of perceiving this translucent form as a highly sophisticated art genre. His integration of laminated blocks of cast glass in which varying colors are placed against one another in a network of complex interlocking variations represents a vital contribution to the world of glass art. In his vast body of work spanning thirty-five years, Taylor demonstrates he well understands the science of glass, grasping its poetry, symbolism, and allegorical strengths. In his hands, glass is transformed into light, and the energy it holds is that of inspiration. With 260 stunning color plates, incisive introductory essays, and a detailed conversation with the artist about his process and central artistic influences, this publication chronicles the evolution of Michael Taylor's art from ceramicist to glassmaker, from Modernist to Neo-Constructivist. An Adjunct Professor of Fine Arts at Pratt Institute in New York City, art critic Robert C. Morgan writes for Art News (New York) and Art Press (Paris). Tina Oldknow is the Curator of Modern Glass at the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, New York. William WarmusGlass magazine.
