MODERNIST
JEWELRY The Wearable Art Movement by Marbeth Schon
|
| This beautiful new book explores the work of American studio jewelers through four pivotal exhibitions held at the Museum of Modern Art (1946) and The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis (1948, 1955, 1959), and studies its major design influences: the German Bauhaus; the movements in the fine arts such as Cubism, Constructivism, and Surrealism; and the extraordinary transformations in American society during the mid 20th century. | |
| Biographies of 175 jewelers are included together with 540 color and 35 black and white photographs, value references, images of 74 makers' marks, index, and table of contents. |  |
| Here are
