VITRAUX - Eugene Grasset

Prisés de son vivant, les vitraux d’Eugene Grasset sont largement oubliés de nos jours, car supplantés dans l’imaginaire du public, par ses affiches et ses illustrations.

Il créa de très nombreux vitraux avec ses amis Félix Gaudin et Lucien Begule, Maitres-verriers et entrepreneurs. Malheureusement beaucoup furent détruits : guerres 1914-18 et 1939-45, cyclone (Texas-USA) ou destructions volontaires ... Et cela sans compter ceux non localisés avec précision voir restés à l’état de projet ...

Vitraux

Highly rated during his lifetime, Eugene Grasset’s stained-glass windows are almost forgotten nowadays, being supplanted in the public’s memory by his illustrations and posters. He created a great number of them with his friends Felix Gaudin and Lucien Begule, master-artists in stained-glass and manufacturers. Unfortunately many have been destroyed : wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45, cyclone (USA) or volontary destructions ... To say nothing of those non located or which have remained as projects.
