"Blue Dancing Stallion Horse" Goblet by Lucio Bubacco, 2003
Add to SetSummary
Lucio Bubacco grew up surrounded by the centuries-old glass culture of the island of Murano, Italy. A glass master, Bubacco notes that drawing improved his art by focusing his attention to detail. For example, while most glass artists create a horse's leg in two parts, Bubacco observes that the leg is actually three parts and then a hoof. Attention to detail enlivens his work.
