Exterior of Luxembourg museum with poster announcing the Louis Comfort Tiffany exhibition\u003cbr/\u003eThe name Tiffany is synonymous with the finest of jewellery.\u003cbr/\u003eBut a visit to an exhibition at the Luxembourg Museum devoted to Louis Comfort Tiffany is like standing inside a jewel box - without a jewel in sight.\u003cbr/\u003eThe son of the founder of the famed New York house Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. preferred to work with glass.\u003cbr/\u003eThese lamps are not your ordinary lighting gear.\u003cbr/\u003eThey are Tiffany lamps - a signature creation of Louis Comfort Tiffany.\u003cbr/\u003eThe collection is a prime example of the artist's study in colour, light and innovation that revolutionised glassmaking.\u003cbr/\u003eTiffany broke the mould set by European artisans by creating what became known as American glass.\u003cbr/\u003eHis glass creations included vases and stained glass windows.\u003cbr/\u003eThe jewellery of his father, founder of Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. Charles Lewis Tiffany,  served as an inspiration to Louis Comfort. \u003cbr/\u003eBut he also travelled widely in Europe, North Africa and elsewhere gaining  inspiration from Orientalists, Islamic and Japanese art.\u003cbr/\u003eCloser to home his work was also swayed by flowers in his garden.\u003cbr/\u003eA selection of his pieces from the late 19th and early 20th centuries can be found at the exhibition \"Louis Comfort Tiffany, Colours and Light\", at the Luxembourg Museum in Paris.\u003cbr/\u003eRosalind Pepall is the curator of the Tiffany exhibition.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He was working at the end of the 19th century, early 20th century and so he was rather traditional. He was a man of his time in that he was looking at all sorts of influences. He was inspired by Japanese design, by Orientalist, Islamic design. He loved nature. He was inspired by flowers and trees. So he was very much typical of that end of the 19th century,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eThe exhibition features a wide range of his works, ranging from monumental-sized stain glass windows to tiny stamp boxes bejewelled in glass. \u003cbr/\u003eRich, luminescent colours glow and dazzle like electric rainbows, while fine, sometimes startling, often lyric designs evoke a sense of harmony.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He also had a modern look as well because he believed that decorative arts should certainly be on the same level as painting and sculpture and so in working in glass he liked the imperfections of glass, the irregular shapes you can get from glass, the unexpected effects you know, glass goes into the oven and then it flows, the colours all melt together. So you never know what's going to come out and he just loved that,\" explains Pepall.\u003cbr/\u003eTiffany began his artistic training as a painter, studying in New York and Paris before taking up interior design where his reputation drew him clients like Mark Twain and in 1882 the White House for President Chester A. Arthur.\u003cbr/\u003eBut it was his innovative work in glass that became his mainstay and has sustained his artistic reputation.\u003cbr/\u003e\"He was really nurtured in the atmosphere of Tiffany company, and all the jewels he could see, you know the radiance and brilliance of colour and jewels in the jewellery firm of his father. And all the different things they sold there. But then he went on his own way towards the production of glass, as a glass artist really,\" Pepall says.\u003cbr/\u003eThrough revolutionary techniques such as draping, in which semi-cooled glass was lifted and folded like draperies, he added a three-dimensional quality to his work and provided a glass maker's version of shading.\u003cbr/\u003eCombed glass with a rippling effect was used for instance for angel wings in stained glass windows, while minute pieces of coloured glass added to another colour, known as the confetti technique, provided yet more nuance. \u003cbr/\u003eEuropean glass makers, meanwhile, were painting their works.\u003cbr/\u003eUndulated glass in two windows of underwater scenes, lent by the Dallas Museum of Art, give the sense of water and obscure the marine life, from star fish to algae.\u003cbr/\u003eVases in radiant colours, often flower themed, appear to sprout from the ground like two Jack-in-the-Pulpit vases. \u003cbr/\u003eIridescent peacock feathers show up in numerous lamps, along with the classic Tiffany style.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile the lamps were no more masterful than Tiffany's other works, they gained favour among buyers.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Tiffany the father was very well known but then Tiffany Louis, the son, ended up making the name even more famous because he was really known for his glass. He was making windows for churches across North America. His name became a mark of prestige. If you owned a Tiffany glass dinner ware set, you know this is the top. Industrialists of the time would buy Tiffany so he actually made the name even more famous,\" Pepall says.\u003cbr/\u003e \"Louis Comfort Tiffany, Colours and Light\" runs from 16th September  2009 to
