What I like

I like the fact of having a very unique work of art, painted by an artist related to the abstract expressionism of the 1960s: the stained glass windows are rare and one can think that these three works are sketches which were then made on a large scale, for a collective building such as a town hall or a religious building, or intended for a specific architect’s house. It is also possible that these three stained glass windows were a work in definitive size, thought of as a triptych, integrated or not into an architecture. In any case, the artist wanted to play on the material and the light passing through the unpainted glass through the color of the stained glass pigments. I like the possibility of presenting them as independent works of art by themselves, or by the possibility of integrating them into a masonry architecture, to give a unique cachet to an interior. The power of these three compositions, functioning as a triptych, attests to the value of the painter, unfortunately unknown

Mix & Match

These three stained glass windows are unique works of art: they can therefore be integrated wherever you decide to show art: both in a classic apartment, on a triptych fireplace, with backlighting, ‘with furniture relating to their date of creation, between 1960 and 1980: what tone they will give to the Danish living room in waxed oak by Borge Jensen and Sonner or to the pair of Adirondack armchairs by Philippe Parent, whose green appears in the stained glass! They can also splash color on the pair of Grass Hopper armchairs by Sonja Wasseur, with geometric shapes and dark leather, which have a native austere elegance.

Of course, this work of art will happily join some of the works we offer: nothing better than their colored accents to enliven the matte gray metal surfaces of the very large sculpture “Colonnes, 1966” by Guillaume Leunens or those bronzed by the “Composition Metalica” tapestry by Enrique Broglia! Their brilliance will play with the abstract geometry of “Composition, circa 1950/1951” by Edgard Pillet, their way of using the medium of glass will study the art of Maurice Legendre for Daum when he made his “Warrior” in crystal clay!
