Description: Height 33 cm.

The lamps are designed by Jacob E. Bang for Holmegaard in the 1930s.
They are blown in the special Marinot Maner, which Jacob E. Bang begins to work with after 1932, after the french artist Maurice Marinot.

Maurice Marinot was a French artist who is included as a member of the fauvish (freely translated to "wild animals"), a branch of expressionism. Van Gogh and Henri Paul Gauguin were the origin of the fauvism, where temperamental, the pure and primitive distorted drawing was a supporting element.

Maurice Marinot begins workin with glass in 1911 and begins working exclusively with it in 1913 and stops painting. For 10 years, he works with enamel on glass to show the "wildness" he believes the glass contains in its creation. From 1923 he went over to use air bubbles, metal pieces and colors to show this.
Of these, Marinot's manners are created, where the subject is applied a series of glass pieces that are smoothed around the subject using wet wood spoons.
Jacob E. Bang was inspired by Maurice's work with the "wild glass" and produced a number of new shapes and designs in the late 1930s.

Holmegaard had been in a serious crisis in the 1920s and did not celebrate its 100th anniversary in 1925, so it was necessary to show that the glassworks were not dying and could easily follow the rest of Europe's leading works both artistic wise and quality wise.
So much of this new production was brought to the world exhibitions in 1935 and 1937 in Brussels and Paris.


Every Marinot's manier glass is to be considered unique as all pieces are different in their decoration.
I have never seen a couple of lamps in this technique nor triangular pieces. Almost everything is around. Marinot glass is made of noble green, smoke topaz, clear glass and items in light blue glass. No glass is produced in Marinot's ways after World War II.

The one is signed "Denmark", indicating the set have been at a World Expo in 1935 or 1937, Paris or Bruxelles.
