Art Appreciation
Jean Crotti was born on April 24, 1878, in Bulle, Fribourg, Switzerland. He initially studied at Munich's School of Decorative Arts before moving to Paris in 1901 to attend the Académie Julian.
In Paris, Crotti's early work was influenced by Impressionism, Fauvism, and Art Nouveau. Around 1910, he began exploring Orphism, an offshoot of Cubism.
Crotti's best-known works often feature abstract compositions with spiritual themes. He also developed the "Gemmail" technique, which involved layering colored glass to create unique color combinations when illuminated.
