Talk about eye candy, this site has got it in spades! A retrospective of 35+ years of work of Lino Tagliapietra, an Italian glass artist, is showcased in a beautifully designed, easy to use website that is part of the Smithsonian American Art Museum online exhibitions. The homepage has a short introduction to the artist, who had an usual career trajectory as he started working in glass factories in Murano, Italy as a child and then eventually became a designer and craftsman for the glass industry. Tagliapietra finally ended up an independent artist and a teacher at the Pilchuck Glass School in Washington State. To view his works, the visitor has several options. The default method is the slideshow, which can be stopped just by clicking on the pause symbol in the right hand corner of the slideshow screen. To select a piece to view, simply roll over it to see a slightly larger image, and if intrigued, click on the thumbnail to see the piece in all its glory. To read a few details about the piece, such as date and technique used, just roll the mouse anywhere over the image and the details will drop down. If visitors wish to navigate within the lineup of thumbnails, they can just click on the "+" or "-" at the bottom of the slideshow screen. Visitors should not miss slide 14 (numbers appear in the top left of the slide when the image is rolled over), which is of the work entitled Endeavor, 1998-2003. This piece is an installation of 35 multi-colored "boats," suspended from the ceiling, and hovering above the floor. Another can't-miss-piece is the elegant and spare Dinosaur (slide 24) from 2007, which is made of colorless glass and has an asymmetry to it that is almost unsettling. Slides 22 and 23 are reminiscent of architectural blueprints rendered in color, or what it must feel like to be a mouse in a sunlit church, filled with simple stained-glass windows.
