JEANNE REYNALLast year I was lucky enough to see works of Jeanne Reynal at the Greenville County Museum of Art. I decided to finally look her up just to see what all she had accompished and just exactly who she was. I was full of surprise reading her information and I think you will too. Her husband wasn't so "bad" either in his artistic work. Below is the start of here article. Thanks to the Anita Shapolsky Gallery for this information.

"I hope to show that the medium of mosaic is not painting with stones and not sculpture, but an art the essential quality of which is luminosity" a quote by Jeanne Reynal in the book The Mosaics of Jeanne Reynal. She acknowledged that the creation of Haghia Sophia, the great church in Istanbul, Turkey, during Byzantium times is the supreme example of architecture adorned with gold mosaic. From then on mosaic work started to change. During the Renaissance, the master painters designed mosaic paintings for churches and official buildings. They buried the quality of light by putting the stones close together and producing copies of paintings. Story continued click here
