Title: We have lost Frantisek Vizner
Post by: Jindra8526 on July 01, 2011, 07:34:26 AM: Dear Czech and Czechoslovakian glass friends.
I just got sad call from Mrs. Viznerova. Frantisek died this morning at 6:10 in hospital in Brno.
I am not able to write more now, just a very bad day for all of us.

Here is the report from the last Vizner event I have helped to organise

Post by: nigel benson on July 06, 2011, 08:58:27 PM: Jindrich, thank you so much for passing on this very sad news.

One of the most interesting and innovative glass artists has left us, but, as has been mentioned, the wonderful thing is that he left us with so much to enjoy and to remember him with.

I recall seeing his later work for the first time when I visited the Czech Republic about 10 years ago, and found the simple forms deeply pleasing and very understated. Thank you Mr Vizner for all you left us.

My deep sympathy to you Jindrich and of course to all his family.

And what else can I do than attach a small bit of all that he left us? The first Frantisek Vizner designed vase I was lucky enough to add to my collection.

Your window,
Falls on the work of a master designer,
Frantisek Vizner.

Shapes and patterns gladden the eye
Reminding us why
We are moved by his work you display with pride
On your windowsill, Astrid.
