GRUBER, Jacques
(b. 1870 Sundhauser, d. 1936 Paris)
French stained-glass artist and cabinetmaker of Alsatian origin. He trained with the Daum brothers and Louis Majorelle in Nancy. He designed the stained-glass windows in the Chambre de Commerce, made furniture for Majorelle, vases for the Daum brothers, and book bindings for René Wiener. In 1897, he set up his own studio, and from 1900 went over almost entirely to glass mosaics and glass painting.
In 1916 he moved to Paris, where his work includes the stained glass of St Christophe de Javel (1925). Jacques’s son Francis Gruber (1912-1948) was primarily a painter but also designed stained glass.
