František Vízner´s Art Glass

The purpose of this thesis is to give a deeper insight to the creation of the work of one of the most significant glass artists in the second half of the 20th century - František Vízner. This work analyzes in detail Vízner's creations, which significantly affected the glass industry. Besides cut glass, which played a continuous part in his life's work, František Vízner was also devoted to the implementation of pressed glass, blown glass and glass for architecture. This scientific study consists of four themed sections, which are accompanied by an inventory and a review of the literature related to the topic. There is also a CV of his work and a chapter on the author's creative beginnings. Finally I look at the work of František Vízner and how it is nestled in the Czech and world context. This project is comprehensively based on a formal description of concrete objects further compared with designs of other glass artists
