Glass and crystal as color ornaments of the house (Part 6)
MODERNIST STYLE of END XIX-of the BEGINNING of XX CENTURY
Stylization of the nature finds a new application in the glass-making industry. The linearity, poured with color scale and plainness, is preferred. All this can be applied in the art of the glass-making. On glass there are metal lusters, the twisted irises; flower patterns prevail in motives and forms.
Alongside with the French and American glass in a modernist style of the end of XIX century- the beginning of the XX centuries, the Czech glass in the same style belongs to the best glass that has ever been created in the world.
The key value for the achievement of success in glass-making industry in a modernist style had cooperation of the glass-makers with the best artists and painters.
XX-XXI CENTURY
In the XX century glass-making has gone through more radical restructurings, than ever before. Manufacturing, which earlier depended on the qualified manual skills, varied in process of gradual introduction of the automation, strongly taken a place in the manufacture of glass tare and technical glass, and later- in the manufacturing of dishcloth glasses.
The greatest event in the history modern glass industry was the exhibition which has opened in Paris (1925), and the exhibitions in Bruxelles (1935) and again in Paris (1937). Since the end the fiftieth and the beginning of sixtieth years of the XX century the cooperation of manufacturers of glass with artists is still developing.
