Czech artist Stanislav Libenský partnered with Jaroslava Brychtová to create extremely memorable art in the 1940s and 50s. They brought new techniques to the world of glass sculpture art, allowing them to create pieces that were completely unique for their time. They found interesting ways to manipulate the surface of the glass and the way it intersects, and considered light to be a fourth dimension on all of their art. They experimented with molding and melting glass as well. Every move they made with each piece had a purpose and their techniques created stunning, original artwork that was more than vases and décor. Their work marked the early inclusion of glass in architecture.
