Masters of Studio Glass: Erwin Eisch
Interpretive NotesIn this portrait of Harvey K. Littleton, one of the founders of the American Studio Glass movement, each head explores a different facet of his personality. Erwin Eisch shows us Littleton as a gentleman, a poet, a teacher, a man of Frauenau (Eisch’s hometown), and a worker. We see him with a headache, as fragile, and we see his spirit. Littleton and Eisch were close friends who influenced each other’s work, and they pioneered the development of blown glass as a material for sculpture.
