Product Description
The 20th century's architectural revolution opened up dazzling new possibilities for stained glass. Over the last thirty years, in particular, a great many projects have been created all over the world, in both new buildings and historical churches and institutions. From the magnificent Art Nouveau ceilings of Parisian department stores, to exuberant designs from the Islamic world, and further still to the temples and palaces of India, Indonesia and Japan, stained glass has become a medium through which the traditional and the avant-garde come together to create sumptuous decoration. Studies of this phenomenon have been rare until now, and this book is a pioneer in the survey of this fascinating field.

I've just bought this book as a present for my brother-in-law, who makes stained glass windows. I'm not in a similar position to be able to pass critical judgement on the text but I can report that the image on Amazon's web page - plus the product details - really do not do justice to this book. Barral's work is packed throughout with crystal clear photographs of the stained glass he is describing. These appear as full-page pictures along with smaller shots. The pictures themselves capture detailed views of stained glass as well contextual arrangements that site the stained glass within the frame that is the building of which they are a part. For anyone interested in this field, and at a price of £22.40 (with free super saver delivery), this is a bargain.

This book was a gift for my brother in law who takes classes and creates his own stained glass. he loved the book, especially for all the modern pieces represented, as there are not of resources available on the modern era.
