A book and card pack. Chihuly's signature on inside front cover. Includes an essay by Robert Hobbs. Dale Chihuly is an American glass sculptor and entrepreneur. His works are considered to possess outstanding artistic merit in the field of blown glass, "moving it into the realm of large-scale sculpture. The Italian artist Italo Scanga suggested Macchia as the title of the series of work begun in 1981 by Chihuly. The ability of the word "macchia" to encapsulate the concept of the spontaneous outpouring of artistic sensibility may have been the reason why Scanga recommended it to his friend. The word choice encompasses more than the mere fact that a distinguishing feature of this series is the artist's preference for splotches of color. When Chihuly appropriates the term "Macchia" for his series, he gives back to the word some of its traditional meanings, particularly the emphasis on spontaneity, on artistic collaboration with technique rather than mere control of it, and on close kinship between artist and nature. His works with their vibrant dashes of color embody both interpretations of the sketch: the artist's conception and the initial realization of it.
