Andre Thuret was one of the first modern French studio glass artists, contemporary with Maurice Marinot. Thuret's sensual vase designs with colored and metallic inclusions seem alive with refracted light. At a vase's beginnings Andre Thuret blew the "parison", a mass of glass fluid, into moulds whose hollow decorations were registered in reliefs on the form. These reliefs were colored by "rolling" on marble charged with metallic oxides. Towards 1925, he created these internal decorations to in vases to form a new "gathering" coated with transparency which was both an artistic and scientific marvel. He was born on November 3, 1898 in Paris. He finished the secondary studies he engaged, in 1916; demobilized in 1919, he passes his license es-sciences and his license in right and occupies, and since 1922, holds the posts of engineer to the glassmaking of Bagneux, then of Bezons. A rather exceptional case, it is by science that Andre Thuret came to art. It is in Thuret the engineer and the chemist who serve Thuret the vase artist. As evidenced in the Exposure of Decorative Arts of 1925 and where he obtains, personally, a diploma of honor and since 1926 starts as an assistant, then to head of work, at the pulpit of Chemistry applied to Industries of ceramics and glassmaking with the National Academy of Arts and Trades and Expert in Paris. Thuret's activity was centered on glass vases, between his teaching, scientific research and Thuret's production as an artist. The scientist places at the disposal of the creator of forms, rates/rhythms and colors the fluid and transparent beauty of glass and the reactions of metallic oxides. All the muds, cuts or bottles of Thuret are single Parts, puffed up and worked according to the traditional technique at a temperature exceeding 1.000 degrees. Thuret exposes to the Show of Autumn in 1928 and 1932 and obtains his first plate of the Company of Encouragement to Art and to Industry then is invited to take part in the United States, in 1929-1930, with the Exposure "Glasses and Tapestries". Since the Release it exposes regularly to the Shows of the Artists Decorators, of autumn and in various galleries and, in 1951, takes share with the Exposure of Glass, the House of Marsan. Some of its parts were acquired by the State. Member of the Committee of the S.A.D., the U.A.M., Member of the Show of Autumn, Andre Thuret is Chevalier of the Legion of Honour since 1947. Thuret's vases from 1940 to 1950, gives up these decorations to research the application of forms to the smooth walls. The first Parts are white, and then the chemist intervenes to color them. More recently, in order to carry out more subtle designs, the sculptors require manual processes to intervene. Thuret always leaves the first parison, out of transparent and fluid glass, which it blows with the necessary form. In addition it models cords of glass which it colored on the marble and which it fixes, according to beforehand conceived rates'/rhythms' then works and model with iron, and tweezers before the "gathering" of a last layer of smooth and white glass. Thus Parts with the external transparencies and interns in the heart are obtained of which play of the rare tonalities, violet, blue, green, gray, even sometimes red locked up in an originally independent life.
