Description

Today, Pitassi’s sleek, streamlined figures appear as products of their time—the style then called “Jazz Moderne” and now known as Art Deco. Pitassi considered himself a Gothic Revivalist, working in the same rigorous, neomedieval tradition as his friend and mentor, Charles J. Connick—and in direct opposition to the painterly, opalescent confections of Tiffany and La Farge.
