Tiffany – Algerian Shops – location unknown

Yes, this painting is by THE Tiffany – Louis Comfort Tiffany. If you look closely, I think you can see the same mind at work behind the piece – all the shapes are clearly defined - like stained glass. He uses a very concise pattern of light and darks – like stained glass. Each patch of color stays within its boundaries with no wild brushstrokes – like stained glass.

Many artists work in several mediums, but it seems that when they become well known for one of them, we (the public) tend to like to forget their diversity. Somehow actors aren’t ‘supposed’ to sing, sports stars aren’t ‘supposed’ to be paint, painters aren’t ‘supposed' to dance. The list goes on and on. What’s up with this? Maybe it’s just unfair that some people can do several things really well while the rest of us struggle just to master one!!
