Daum (est. 1878)

The glass manufactory Daum was established in 1878 by Jean Daum in Nancy. His sons Auguste and Antonin Daum continued the factory later on. Inspired by the famous Gallé glass, Daum became a leading glass manufacturer of Art Nouveau and Émile Gallé’s competitor. Daum was also known for the use of glass paste (pâte de verre). The factory referred to an ancient Egyptian method of glass casting, a process which is still in use today.

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)

The Spanish painter, printmaker and sculptor Salvador Dalí is one of the main representatives of Surrealism. Already during his school days he took private painting and drawing classes and studied at the Academia San Fernando in Madrid from 1922, but was expelled for disorderly conduct in 1926. In 1929, Dalí joined the Surrealists in Paris and met Gala, his muse and future wife. Today his dreamy works, influenced by the unconscious, are displayed in collections of important international museums. Salvador Dalí is known as one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.
