Louis Comfort Tiffany
Born in 1848, Tiffany was a painter and designer of decorative-glass art objects in the art nouveau style. He established a glassmaking factory and experimented with stained glass for decorative-art objects. He is best remembered for inventing a process for making an opalescent glass, known as Tiffany favrile glass, which he used to fashion colorful windows, vases, lamps, and other decorative-art objects. Much prized by collectors today, the pieces are characterized by the curved and delicate lines of the art nouveau style.
