<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bruce G, post: 110685, member: 1574&quot;]It seems LCT spent quite a bit of time in France and was certainly inspired by the art and stain glass he saw. He was an accomplished painter and attended the main salon of traditional establishment art in Paris and probably also attended the Salon de Independents in 1889. This Salon de Independents featured artists not allowed into the main Salon due to their non traditional styles. LCT was interested in anything that was new and cutting edge. He became one of the leading art Nouveau advocates with many of his designs following this new style.</p><p>One particular painting shown at the Salon de Independents in 1889 that I believe my have inspired the wire design on the 2 lamps we all have seen ourselves. Can you guess which one? Take a look at Vincent Van Go&#039;s &quot;Starry Night&quot;. The swirling clouds appear quite similar. This might be a stretch, but I do not believe in coincidences. The Jeanne D&#039;Arc medalions on my lamp probably reference the popuralrity of her horine status as breaking from the establishment. Her image and name have been referenced in connection with the art Nouveau movement.</p><p>Hopefully, this on going discussion will produce some more concrete evidence. Old pictures perhaps, letters, invoices or sales receipts and maybe a few more lamp examples.</p><p>Bruce G.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
