The American Stained-Glass Movement

 

Illustrated lecture—one hr

 

The American stained-glass movement of the late nineteenth- and early-twentieth centuries forever revolutionized the art of stained glass.

 

 Fueled by the fierce competition between the artists John La Farge and L.C. Tiffany, American artists challenged six-centuries of stained-glass dogma to form their own patented style and radically new subject matter. 

 

In the past year, Mr. Sandstead has personally experienced thousands of American stained-glass windows from this era and seen first-hand the genius of the American Stained-Glass movement. Come to this lecture and learn how stained-glass and the art of stained-glass can dramatically affect your life, giving you another life-long passion to pursue.
