Jean-Jacques Duval was born in, Strasbourg, France. After World War II, he began his studies at Ecole Superieur des Arts Decoratif, Strasbourg, France. In 1950, Duval accepted an offer to design for a major stained glass studio in the United States. In 1957 he opened his own studio in New York City. Today he lives and maintains his design studio in a remote area of the Adirondack Mts in Saranac, NY. Natural forms have always interested Duval and his present environs provide a catalyst for his inspiration. From Duval Studio, situated on the Saranac River, he maintains his ability to serve clients world-wide.
Duval was one of the first architectural stained glass designers in the U.S. to use dalle de verre. His unique powerful style in abstraction is furthered with this heavy thick glass. Compositional strength is structure of a chosen mass or masses. His work is not lyrical.
�I can remember well the first time I saw the work of Jean-Jacques Duval. I was struck by the bold juxtaposition of his colors and forms. Much emotion was there, but not sentimentality. I admired his sophistication of concept and expression. I remember thinking that this arstist expresses my own religious sensitivity. The abstraction was universal, but I felt an individual mysticism.
Betty H. Meyer: Editor, FAITH and FORM Magazine
(The Journal on Religion, Art and Architecture)
SPEAKING OF HIS COLLABORATION WITH DUVAL, BERTRAM BASSUK, FAIA SAYS:
�I regard his empathy toward the architectural enclosure of which his work is to be an integral part, to be as fundamental a factor in his creative imagination as is his composing of its symbolic content.�
Duval�s aim continues to be to produce that which is the Best in Design and workmanship, serving the demands of purpose with due respect to the nature of the architectural setting and environment.

The creation of a stained glass window imposes its own strict demands:
Integrity of design within the limits of the medium.
Sensitive expression of a spiritual message in architectural terms. Opportunity for creative drama, utilizing the idiom of our own culture and era.
I believe in the permanent value of things that are well designed and soundly made, especially if they are to have more than a fleeting use, fullness or temporary attraction.
