Slovak Contemporary Glass

1945, Žichovice

Jozef Tomečko is representing of the geometrical stream in Slovak glass. He took advantage of transparency, reflecting surfaces, and the movement of virtual spaces depending on the position of the individual viewer. The dominant element here is colourless glass or glass with colour of champagne: colour is suppressed to stress form. Form results from the search for perfection in the use of straight or curved lines.
