"Bull's Eye" Glass 1935 - 1942

"Bull's Eye" is a glass artwork by John Tarantino created between 1935 and 1942. The piece features a single, circular, transparent glass "bull's eye" embedded in a larger, rectangular piece of glass. The "bull's eye" is slightly raised and appears to be a different shade of blue than the surrounding glass. This simple, yet striking, artwork showcases Tarantino's minimalist approach to glasswork, emphasizing the beauty of the material itself and its inherent qualities of light and transparency. The piece is notable for its delicate composition and its use of negative space, drawing the viewer's attention to the central "bull's eye." "Bull's Eye" exemplifies the artist's exploration of form and texture within the medium of glass.
