Jacques Gruber

Jacques Gruber studied in Paris at l'Ecole des Arts Décoratifs, à l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts and also frequented the studio of Gustave Moreau. In 1893 he joined the firm of Daum as a chief decorator and taught at l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Nancy. Gruber's designs, whether in glass of ceramic, seems to be a perfect synthesis of naturalism and symbolism.
