Did You Know?

Niels Edward Hald considered this vase engraving to be one of his greatest artistic achievements in glass design.

Description

Also called Bollspelande flickor, or Ball-Playing Girls, this vase’s flattened figural motif was inspired by Matisse’s Dance. That Edward Hald was a former student of Matisse strengthens this association. Rhythm was one of Hald’s last designs in a decorative, expressionist style before producing vase engravings with more defined narratives.
