Book Description
Excerpt from The Art Work of Louis C. Tiffany This volume is not written for the public, but for the children of Louis Comfort Tiffany and at their request. Much concerning their own father which may be known to his fellow artists or to workers in various fields of art, or to persons in different employments and separate ranks of life, is unknown to them. No reason for surprise in this: it is the commonest thing in the world to find that the last persons to be informed of what a professional man has achieved in his life work are his children. For the former, more than any other man, uses his home as a rest and refuge from the ideas that beset him at his daily task. With his nearest and dearest he rarely if ever talks shop. What more natural, then, for them to discover with something of a shock that if anything should happen to their father they would be left without a record of the various lines of endeavor he pursued? It is this condition confronting them which caused their father to listen to their reproaches and overcome his natural dislike for anything that savors of self-seeking and agree to the printing of a book which is to some extent a biography but primarily a record.
