From 1912 to 2012, from Maurice Marinot to Yoichi Ohira, a century of glass creations is revealed in this book through a hundred works from the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris. From classical inspirations and traditional firms, stemming from the origin of the arts of fire, to the innovative visions associated with contemporary art, they are of great diversity. Glass, a chameleon material capable of the most deceptive imitations, takes on innumerable appearances, between opacity and translucency, dullness and shine, figurative or abstract representations. Unique pieces, limited or numbered series, all are studied in detail, the emphasis being placed both on the works themselves and on the context of their creation. The prism of the prestigious collection of this museum offers an original and international panorama of artistic creation in glass for a century.
