Peter Glass’ nineteenth-century table exemplifies marquetry. Explain the process of this technique. Then describe what Glass was able to achieve with marquetry.
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: The ideal answer should include:
1. Marquetry lays down small pieces of wood in a design without a bounding wall between the pieces of wood.
2. The artist creates a cartoon of the design, lays it over a wooden panel, and then pricks and dusts the paper so that the design transfers to the wood.
3. Then, the artist cuts small pieces of wood to fit the design and glues them into place.
4. Using marquetry, Peter Glass created a highly ornate work that includes twining vegetation, birds, and military heroes.
