Public ISBD [article]  inCeramics > 87 (Mars-Avril-Mai 2012) . - p. 24 à 29 Titre : LITHOPHANES... NOT A DEAD ART FORM Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Margaret CARNEY, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 24 à 29 Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : CERAMISTE HISTOIRE DE LA CERAMIQUE LITHOPHANIE Note de contenu : Lithophanes are three-dimensional translucent porcelain plaques which, when backlit, reveal detailed magical images. First created in Europe in the 1820s, the largest collection of this 19th century art form in the world is on view at the Blair Museum of Litophanes in Toledo, Ohio, US. When electricity became common, lithophanes became less common. Not long after, the word lithophane disappeared from common usage... Primarily a European art form, almost no lithophanes were created in the US in the 19th century. Beginning in the 1950s or 1960s, however, largely due the publicity and interest generated by Laurel Blair, founder of the Blair Museum of Lithophanes in Toledo, there began a slow and steady resurgence in the interest in this "lost" art form in the US and elsewhere... Hannah Blackwell, artist (b 1971) had seen evidence of this art form in 2007. She became intrigued by the possibilities and, after extensive studies in Hungary in 2008 and 2009, at the International Ceramic Studio in Kecskemét, she has since mastered the technique and the result is beautiful creations that mesmerise the viewer.
