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 tour at the Metropolitan Museum of Art to not only see some American masterpieces, but also to learn how stained-glass and the art of stained-glass can dramatically affect your life, giving you another life-long passion to pursue.
