Gemmaux (plural of Gemmail) is a new form of artistic expression of the 20th century. The pieces of colored glass shaped by the artist are superimposed and held together by a transparent enamel on a large glass panel lighted from behind. The result is creating a rich relief with the lighting transcending the color.

Picasso was one of the major artists who produced about 50 gemmaux in the 1950's. He was so enthusiastic and captivated by this new medium that he declared : 'a new art is born: les Gemmaux'.[1]
