Art Smith

These pieces by Art Smith are exquisite. The beauties seen here were created between 1946 and 1962. I love the mixture of silver, turquoise, amethyst, prase, and rhodonite. He crafted such fantastic movement with silver. Smith was inspired by surrealism, biomorphicism, primitivism, and even Alexander Calder. These live in the Brooklyn Museum but I definitely wouldn't mind having a replica of each. Want to learn more about Smith? Read up on him here.
