From the Hands of the Maestro

“Anybody who has ever seen Lino Tagliapietra at work, will know that he is ... a true master - a unique person who appears maybe once or twice in a century.�

t is with great pleasure that Schantz Galleries presents the exhibition, Dalle Mani del Maestro, the Art of Lino Tagliapietra and this accompanying catalog of works. For more than 15 years, we have worked with Lino, developed a friendship and feel that it is time to celebrate our relationship with this publication.

With the advent of the 50th anniversary of the birth of the American Studio Glass Movement*, it is fitting that Lino Tagliapietra is to be honored with a major retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington. It is certain that since arriving in 1979 to teach at the Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood Washington, as well as other schools in the US, France, Japan and Australia, Lino has been a major influence and inspiration to three generations of artists working in glass and has been a leader in defining the Studio Glass Movement. Lino's generosity and creative spirit have transformed the movement through his example of work ethic, innovation and dedication.

Lino's passion for expression and creativity is perhaps at its highest. Lino continues to experiment and push the glass medium in his quest to bring to light new form, pattern and texture. It is the Maestro's unsurpassed technical expertise which affords him the great freedom of expression. Lino has continued his quest for experimentation this past year at the Museum of Glass, Bullseye Glass Factory, Pilchuck School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was at these locations that Lino was able to take his work into uncharted territory and to a new level. Lino's willingness to engage with the glass community, share his enthusiasm and be a strong mentor brings a constant exchange of new energy to his own work. This is best represented by Lino's latest series highlighted in this exhibition catalog.

These include the dramatic Osaka, Fuji, Fenice and Venice Series, which all produced during the past year are the result of his ongoing exploration and commitment to his art.

We are honored to present Lino Tagliapietra's incredible range of artistry with this book.

It is our humble offering of an insight into his enormous passion for creativity, the intense energy sustained to make his art and the birth of each new form as it evolves from a gather of molten glass at the end of a punty into pulled or twisted cane. Cut into lengths or chopped into murrini, these prime elements are composed into a complex design and then expertly blown or fused into a form - all from the heart, mind, soul and the hands of the Maestro.

Jim Schantz and Kim Saul Schantz Galleries, 2011 * 2012 marks the anniversary of the first experimental glassblowing workshops with Harvey K. Littleton and Dominick Labino at the Toledo Museum of Art.

Last night, I was thinking...

At night, strange thoughts come, sometimes bad, sometimes “creative.

I thought last night, how to answer the question...

‘Where do you get inspiration?’

It is often at night, you wake up and you’re working and you dream or think of doing something different, something a little crazy and definitely new. For example, Kenia is a product of the night, also Osaka, Fuji and Avventura.

To have ideas or inventions at night is easy; what is difficult is to implement them. I can do it if I work in the morning or during the following days. It is most frustrating if I cannot try immediately because the ideas overlap. It’s like putting white sheets of paper one over the other and covering those dreams which are asking to be.

You ask, ‘Why don’t you draw?’

I tried and it does not work for me. I realize I draw while working; I need the raw glass, the color, the fire, to SWEAT. My concentration is in putting together dreams and trying to make them become reality.

here are (at the very least!) two reasons why each new exhibition of the work of Lino Tagliapietra is an opportunity for celebration, the first because of who he is, and the second because of what he does. It just has to be acknowledged - there are probably no two words more respected and honored in the history of modern sculpture in glass than ‘Lino Tagliapietra’; he is the living bridge, the crucial link between the august history of Venetian glass (he was even born in Murano and began his career there at the age of 11) and the ceaseless wonders of what we today call the modern Studio Glass movement.

In his 77 years he has seen the context of sculpture in glass shift, from his role as a certified ‘Maestro Vetraio’ (Master of Glass, at age 21) working within the skilled workshop and artisanal traditions of for-profit firms with regular product lines, to the current situation where a sculptor functions as an independent artist in his or her studio. Tagliapietra not only witnessed this, he helped bring it into being, beginning in the 1960s when American artists (Littleton, Chihuly, Lipofsky, etc.) began to find their way to Murano coveting the skills and techniques that only Tagliapietra and

his colleagues possessed. Tagliapietra shared his knowledge with those artists and more, and beginning in 1979 began to visit the US regularly, leading workshops and classes all over the country, accelerating (I would argue) the technical proficiency of a generation of American artists through his generous transmission of his consummate mastery of Venetian techniques (please feel free to YouTube him to see a master at work). Tagliapietra himself was changed by these encounters too, responding favorably to the independence and ambition and risk-taking spirit of American artists. In 1988, after 42 years of working for Muranese firms and glass factories he became an independent artist.

That’s a nice tale, and a true one, and a month doesn’t go by that some American sculptor who works in glass doesn’t speak to me with awe about the privilege of having watched Tagliapietra work and possibly crewed for him. But this is not just about what Tagliapietra knows and has witnessed, it is about what he does, and continues to do. More than sixty years of working with glass in the finest workshops both in Italy and around the world have given him what are almost singular and unique skills with glass, built upon a thousand-year-old tradition and applied today with great beauty and elegance.

From his work with filigrana into reticello, zanfirico and murrine into incalmo, working with blown or fused glass, the arenas of his inquiry into the possibilities of glass seem literally endless. His recent Fuji and Osaka series, and his new Venice wall panels, each skirt the edges of expressionism in subtly different ways, providing Tagliapietra with a more painterly and inherently risky platform than he has regularly investigated. They are a kind of foil for the consummate elegance he continues to achieve to this day, particularly in the capricious Fenice series, some of which are as close to giddy giggles as anything I’ve seen in any branch of contemporary art.

Exult in the rhythmic sweep of an Angel Tear or a Bilbao or a Dinosaur, see how it plays toward and against the vessel tradition, stretching its limits to a kind of poignancy and grazia. It is the assuredness of his activity that continues to amaze, the sheer pleasure of watching someone, in this case someone who has been a maestro for 56 years, work his will, seemingly effortlessly, over his material, making it look so easy and inevitable that the thousands and thousands of hours of experiment and experience seem to slip away. The hands of the master - dalle mani del maestro - after all, are directed by that master’s mind and eye and shoulders and wrists, and Lino Tagliapietra’s hands are led by the very best.
