Interpretive Notes

Web Text

Dante Marioni works in original ways with traditional Venetian glassblowing and decorating techniques. Using Pop Art–influenced, comic-book colors paired with classical forms, he has developed several series of vessels that look contemporary while simultaneously paying homage to the history of Italian glass.

Physical DescriptionVessels, "Chartreuse Pair". Colorless, opaque yellowish green, and orange glasses; blown, applied, hot-worked. (a) attenuated to pitcher shape in yellow green with orange band at rim, neck, base, orange stem and handle.
