Glass Painting (Gemmail) is a form of colored glass art founded by the French painter Jean Crotti in the 1930s. In the mid-1950s, Picasso was amazed by the skilful combination and arrangement of gemmail by glass artisans, referring to it as “The Birth of a New Art Form,” and he personally explored the potential of this medium.

Picasso Collaborated with the French artist Roger Malherbe-Navarre’s studio, using combinations, layering, and sticking colored glass pieces to transform some of his works into glass paintings. These works were reimagined through light projection, giving them a modern feel, and Picasso’s innovative artistic techniques elevated his works, making them unique creations.
