Pair of heavy green and blue Murano glass book ends by maestro Luciano Gaspari, circa 1950. Born in Venice in 1913. He studied at the Fine Arts Academy of Venice and Bologna, he was a pupil of Virgilio Guidi and Giorgio Morandi. He participated in a number of Biennales. Luciano Gaspari is a painter who enters into symbiosis with glass production, studies the collections, scientifically verifies the techniques, establishes a deep relationship with great masters such as Alfredo Barbini , Luciano Vistosi , Paolo Martinuzzi, especially Livio Seguso and, later, Pino Signoretto. Become the artistic director of Salviati in 1955, he plays the role with untiring commitment and rigor. Characteristic of his approach is a total mastery and an innovative use of traditional techniques, the ability to look to the past to invent the future, but also to use novelties with courage and imagination, or to "force" common use by transforming, for example, simple bottles in sculptures. He engages in serial productions, in "unique pieces", in sculptures, but also in objects such as plates (including absolutely extraordinary those presented at the '66 Biennale), vases, cups, bottles: in every creation the quality of colors, the balance between brightness, transparency, glows and shadows reveals the intense relationship between the painter's sensitivity and fantasy and a perfect understanding of the potential of glass. 1913.
