A special exhibit in the Museum of Glass (MOG) in Tacoma, Washington, featured the works of Italian artist maestro Alfredo Barbini (1912–2007). According to MOG:
“Barbini was a skilled technician with a playful repertoire. He was imaginative and elegant with a humorous aesthetic while showcasing a mid-century modern minimalism. Barbini’s work is informed by his love of nature, especially aquatic creatures, birds, and animals. He revels in their charm, beauty, and incomparable design.”
Shown below are some of the sea creatures in this special exhibit.
