"Stanislav Libensky and Jaroslava Brychtova have spent almost fifty years refining the art of casting large sculptures made of delicately colored glass. Their achievements have won them a place among the leading artists working in their medium. The Inner Light highlights the most recent work of this celebrated team.".

"Robert Kehlmann places their aesthetic in the context of the Czech intellectual and artistic climate that played an important formative role in their development, with particular attention to the influence of Czech cubism. The essay takes a close look at their latest body of work, which utilizes monumental forms to probe isses relating to life, death, and the afterlife.".

"Two interviews provide further insight into Libensky and Brychtova's creative process. Kehlmann's conversation with art historian Jiri Setlik, a close friend of the artists, gives a personal perspective on their work. Setlik is Vice-Director of the Academy of Arts, Architecture, and Design, Prague, and has written extensively about Libensky and Brychtova's work.

A lively interview with the artists themselves provides yet a fuller sense of the collaborative process behind their luminous and mysterious sculptures."--BOOK JACKET.
