“The process of creating pâte de verre is certainly the most artistic and the most personal of all the methods of working in glass and crystal because it allows the artist to easily convey all his thoughts” – Gabriel Argy-Rousseau
Trained at the Ecole nationale de Sèvres, Argy-Rousseau studied Greek art there, having also been exposed to it through his family. He considered Greek style his true passion and a permanent influence in his work throughout his career. His ‘La Danse’ vase is one of his most famous creations and evokes the Attic vases of the antiquities with the poses of the dancing figures in a stylized landscape. The present lot, from the collection of Dr. Thomas Chua, displays remarkable detailing to the pâte-de-verre and a varied color palette.
