Publisher's Note Written in collaboration with his widow, this is the first book to explore and reproduce the magnificent stained glass of this renowned 20th century artist. The internationally renowned artist John Piper (1903-1992) was arguably the greatest 20th century designer in stained glass and this is the first book to explore and reproduce this magnificent work. It establishes Piper's standing as a hugely influential artist beyond the medium of paint. Over 100 examples of Piper's stained glass from around the world are reproduced, allowing the reader to appreciate for the first time the range of the work and providing an illustrated historical catalog. Also reproduced are many original sketches and plans as well as photographs of the artist at work.
Industry Reviews "...the comprehensiveness of Osborne's new book makes it a desirable addition to the literature on Piper. It is also generously illustrated, though the quality of the plates is uneven. The author admits that she relied on her own camera in many instances." Times Literary Supplement - Frances Spalding (10/09/1998)
