Louis Comfort Tiffany: The Painting Career of a Colorist traces the four developmental stages of Tiffany's (1848-1933) painting style. Citing the impact of George Inness and Samuel Colman upon Tiffany's early career, this book explains how Tiffany combines traditional painting methods, influenced by the color and prismatic iridescence of glass, and theories of color-light optics, to create shimmering pastels and paintings. Tiffany's final work uses jewel-like color to illustrate landscapes, interiors, and images of virtuous women. The paintings are a visual record of his journeys to Europe, North Africa, and Canada.
