Art Smith

modernist jewelry circa 1962

From the Village to Vogue

Art attended Cooper Union, and lived and worked in Greenwich Village and Harlem. Hey! you know where that is too? cool. great bio here.

"Patina" Necklace

“A piece of jewelry is in a sense an object that is not complete in itself. Jewelry is a ‘what is it?’ until you make it relate to the body. The body is a component in design just as air and space are. Like line, form, and color, the body is a material to work with. It is one of the basic inspirations in creating form.”

-Art Smith

"Galaxy" Necklace and earrings 1962

Pretty and shiny. What's that bird that loves sparkly shiny things? I am that bird.

Beautiful glam. These are more like sculptures, to me, than jewels. Wearable sculptures.

"Metallic Boa" Necklace 1964

Inspired by Calder's mobiles. fancy that.

"Lava" Bracelet 1946

This one is attractive. In a different way. In a

gothy,

art-nouveau-y

way.
