    Henry Steig (1906-1973) Anting belakang sekrup bentuk bebas sterling modernis (3) sepasang. Jual 3 pasang yang tertera, yang terbesar 1.Panjang 25", 19.totalnya 7 gram. Jules Brenner dan Henry Steig termasuk di antara kelompok pembuat perhiasan studio abad pertengahan terkemuka di New York yang membuat karya seni buatan tangan yang merayakan avant-garde, menolak bentuk perhiasan tradisional, dan menarik perhatian intelektual dan kelas menengah yang liberal. Jules Brenner lahir di Bronx, dibesarkan di Washington Heights, dan belajar akting dengan Stella Adler serta melukis dan memahat di Greenwich Village. Henry Steig (juga dikenal sebagai Henry Anton) belajar di City College dan National Academy of Design, dan memulai karirnya sebagai musisi jazz Kota New York, penulis, novelis, kartunis, dan pelukis. Selama tahun 1950-an, Brenner dan Steig mengoperasikan toko dan studio di Manhattan dan di Provincetown, Massachusetts—yang saat itu merupakan kawasan seniman terkemuka—tempat mereka menjual desain perak dan emas buatan tangan yang sering kali menekankan bentuk biomorfik, surealis, kubisme, dan geometris.Semua orang tahu gambar terkenal dari film The Seven Year Itch, tentang Marilyn Monroe berdiri di trotoar New York, roknya tertiup angin ke atas dari jeruji kereta bawah tanah di bawah. Namun, tidak semua orang mengetahui bahwa saat itu dia sedang berdiri di depan toko perhiasan Henry Steig di 590 Lexington Avenue.Henry Steig adalah pria dengan banyak talenta. Sebelum menjadi pembuat perhiasan, ia adalah seorang musisi jazz, pelukis, pematung, seniman komersial, kartunis, fotografer, penulis cerita pendek dan novelis."Henry adalah seorang pria Renaisans," kata kartunis New Yorker Mischa Richter, yang merupakan teman baik Steig dan tetangga Provincetown.Henry Anion Steig lahir pada tanggal 19 Februari 1906, di Kota New York. Orang tuanya, Joseph dan Laura, datang ke Amerika pada pergantian abad, dari Lvov (disebut Lemberg dalam bahasa Jerman), yang saat itu berada di pelabuhan Polandia di Kekaisaran Austro-Hungaria. Joseph adalah seorang pelukis rumah dan Laura, seorang penjahit.Mereka memiliki empat putra, Irwin, Henry, William dan Arthur, semuanya serba bisa, berbakat, dan artistik. William Steig adalah kartunis terkenal warga New York dan penulis-ilustrator buku anak-anak. irwin adalah seorang penulis cerita pendek untuk New Yorker. Arthur adalah seorang pelukis dan penyair yang puisinya diterbitkan di majalah New Republic dan Puisi.William Steig mengenang, "Ayah dan ibu saya mulai menunjuk dan menjadi seniman pameran setelah putra mereka tumbuh dewasa." Pada majalah Newsweek edisi 14 Mei 1945, sebuah artikel diterbitkan tentang sebuah pameran, "mungkin pertunjukan keluarga pertama di Art Row (57th Street)" di New Art Circle Gallery. Itu disebut "Delapan Pertunjukan Steig, Semua Artis." Termasuk lukisan karya Joseph dan Laura Steig; gambar dan patung karya William dan lukisan karya istrinya, Liza; lukisan karya Arthur dan istrinya, Aurora; serta foto karya Henry dan lukisan karya istrinya, Mimi. Satu-satunya saudara lelaki yang tidak termasuk adalah Irwin, "satu-satunya Steig yang non-konformis," yang saat itu bekerja sebagai manajer periklanan di sebuah produsen sabun Connecticut.Dalam artikel "saudara-saudara mengaitkan banyaknya seniman bagus dalam keluarga dengan fakta bahwa kami semua menyukai karya satu sama lain…menjadi bersemangat karenanya. Setiap kali seseorang memulai, mereka mendapat banyak dorongan. Joseph Steig menambahkan, 'Melukis adalah hal yang menular. Jika Anda tinggal di lingkungan kami, Anda mungkin akan menunjuk.'"Henry Steig tumbuh di lingkungan yang luar biasa ini. Keluarga itu tinggal di Bronx. Setelah lulus SMA, Henry Steig melanjutkan ke City College (CCNY). Setelah tiga tahun dia pergi untuk belajar melukis dan patung di National Academy of Design. Dia juga seorang musisi ulung, bermain saksofon, biola, dan gitar klasik, dan ketika dia masih kuliah, dia mulai bekerja sebagai musisi jazz. Sejak sekitar tahun 1922, ketika baru berusia enam belas tahun, hingga tahun 1932 ia memainkan alat musik buluh dengan band tari lokal.Setelah empat tahun di Akademi Nasional, Steig bekerja sebagai seniman komersial dan kartunis. Dia menandatangani kartunnya "Henry Anton" karena saudaranya William juga bekerja sebagai kartunis, untuk banyak majalah yang sama. Dari sekitar tahun 1932 hingga 1936, kartun Henry Anton muncul di majalah Life, Judge, New Yorker, dan majalah lainnya.Steig memulai karir menulis pada tahun 1935 yang berlangsung hingga sekitar tahun 1947. Ia menjadi sangat sukses dan terkenal sebagai penulis cerita pendek, dengan cerita-cerita yang muncul secara teratur di Saturday Evening Post, New Yorker, Esquire, Colliers dan lain-lain. Kisah-kisah tersebut sering kali merupakan kisah-kisah lucu tentang jazz dan para musisi jazz yang menghuni dunia musik pada tahun dua puluhan. Cerita lainnya adalah tentang masa kecilnya di Bronx. Dia juga menulis artikel majalah nonfiksi, termasuk profil Benny Goodmon di New Yorker dan kritik jazz. Beberapa artikel nonfiksinya diilustrasikan oleh William Steig.Pada tahun 1941, Alfred A. Knopf menerbitkan novel Henry Steig, Send Me Down. Ceritanya, diceritakan dengan sangat realisme, tentang dua bersaudara yang menjadi musisi jazz di tahun dua puluhan. Di jaket bukunya, Steig menulis, "Sebagian besar materi untuk Send Me Down dikumpulkan selama bertahun-tahun saya sebagai musisi jazz yang bermain dengan band jazz lokal dan dengan grup keliling di vaudeville dan dalam tur ruang dansa. Meskipun saya hanya kelas dua sebagai musisi, saya mengetahui subjek saya dari dalam, dan saya yakin saya adalah orang pertama yang menulis cerita tentang musisi jazz, berdasarkan pengalaman pribadi yang sebenarnya." Putranya, Michael, mengenang bahwa ada minat untuk membuat film dari buku tersebut. “Ayah saya mengatakan kepada saya bahwa John Garfield ingin memainkan karakter utama."Steig pergi ke Hollywood pada tahun 1941, di bawah kontrak untuk menulis skenario. Dia akan bekerja dengan Johnny Mercer, penulis lagu. Setelah penyerangan Pearl Harbor pada 7 Desember, dia kembali ke New York. “Dia pasti akan kembali lagi,” kata Michael Steig. “Dia tidak senang dengan kontrak yang dinegosiasikan agennya untuknya." Mischa Richter berselisih, "Henry sangat tidak terkesan dengan Hollywood."

    Frank Patania Sr (1899-1964) Modernist southwestern Sterling and turquoiseclip-on earrings 22mm x 28mm x 10.5 grams. No issues, strong clips, great design.All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and possibly higher content. Anything marked is guaranteed to be what it's marked, most bracelets are photographed on a 6" wrist (non hairy), rings photographed on the appropriate sized finger when possible. With bracelets if the measurement is not given in the description then inside circumference is shown where the metal meets the number on the the cloth tape measure.Frank Patania Sr. immigrated to New York City in 1908. Child labor laws kept the young man from working as a craftsman, but after World War I he was old enough to be hired as a designer for an important jewelry firm. In 1924 he contracted tuberculosis, and the firm sent him to a sanatorium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Patania was seduced by the active art colony and healthy climate, and chose to remain in the Southwest even after his health improved. His work reflects both his European training and his exposure to Pueblo and Navajo jewelry.The legacy left by Frank Patania, Sr. came from the integration of two distinctly different traditions-one European, and the other Native American. On the one hand, Frank Sr. drew from a long history of Italian creative spirit, combining technical expertise and artistic imagination. He instilled in his family the Italian commitment to fine craftsmanship, as well as the Italian custom of family corporate bonding.This uniquely Italian tradition can be traced back as far as the Renaissance, and provides a structure in which each member of an artisan family has a job to perform that contributes to the family enterprise. This familial check and balance system has been a powerful asset to the Patania family's continued standard of excellence through the years. But Frank Sr.'s style was drastically transformed when he was introduced to the work of southwest Native American jewelers in the 1920s.His inspiration was multi-faceted; he began to work in a new medium-silver and turquoise-as well as in increased scale, and using new techniques. The successful marriage of these two disparate traditions has become the foundation upon which each generation has maintained the tradition of excellence in craftsmanship and design that has come to be known as the "Patania Thunderbird" style.

    1 in stock

    Lisa D'Agostino 18k/Sterling modernist earrings 10-11mm square, high quality<br>workmanship and design. No backs included, no other issues. 5.2 grams.For Lisa,<br>working with her hands has been the only thing that has ever really interested<br>her. Her curiosity about the potential for designing and creating with metal has<br>lasted since 1980. That year she participated in her first art fair. The shows<br>were local at first, but gradually developed into national venues that included<br>galleries as well. Except for an additional 12-year foray into baskets (see "The<br>Basketmaker's Art", Lark Publications) her focus has been on jewelry.The designs<br>have evolved over the years but the inspirations have remained the same. Lisa's<br>pieces are informed by geometry and architecture but tempered by the poetic and<br>philosophical aspects presented by astronomy. She ponders a phrase from an old<br>sixties song... "we are stardust - billion year old carbon."The work begins with<br>a loose drawing until a new solution or idea presents itself. It is a balance<br>between intention/chance and spontaneity/deliberation. The contours and forms<br>are simple at first. She likes the rigor and order of basic geometric shapes but<br>then organizing them into something more complex. Shapes are cut out of sterling<br>silver and formed or scored and soldered together. Other parts are distorted<br>through the rolling mill. Surfaces are textured with files or hammers or fused<br>with silver dust or 18K yellow gold. Many techniques may be incorporated into<br>one piece using a variety of hand tools, some of which are her oldest<br>buddies.The final steps involve patination of the piece, and then selectively<br>removing some of the patina to leave combinations of matte or polished surface<br>areas. Earthy rough stones and lustrous pearls are used to further enhance the<br>piece.Lisa was formally introduced to art at college. She earned a Bachelor of<br>Fine Arts degree at Bowling Green State University in 1977, but never really<br>learned to solder well until she was able to work in her own studio. She went<br>back to school, and after 3 years she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from<br>the University of Kansas in 1991. During this time she continued to show and<br>sell her work at many selected art fairs and galleries across the country.All<br>precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred<br>to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and<br>possibly higher content. Most cuff bracelets are shown photographed on a 6"<br>woman's wrist and will include a photo showing the inside circumference where<br>the metal tip meets the number on the tape measure.

    Navajo Ray Tracey Knifewing Modernistic Inlaid Earrings 1.25" wide square. Light scratches, no deep scratches, bends, or damage to stones.The Creative Process Fueled by Inspiration“God blesses everyone with a variety of gifts and talents.” The Creator blessed Ray with the spirit of Creativity. Inspiration is the basis for his creative spirit. Inspiration arrives in many forms and disguises when least expected. Hiking the canyons of the Southwest, where his ancestors did the same, gives Ray a feeling of reverence. Walking in peace with gratitude and thanksgiving opens up the senses to receive ideas. Petroglyphs carved on canyon walls turns into wearable art. Stories from an ancient past are re-lived on the faces of Yei pendants. The evening sky’s transformation of color inspired the Earth and Sky jewelry line. Once while golfing, a white butterfly landed on Ray’s golf bag and accompanied him down the fairway. This incident brought the Butterfly and Dragonfly design concept to reality. Having awareness of this special gift, he aspires to know the origin.Artist Ray Tracey has had a life-long love of jewelry. As a child growing up in Sawmill, AZ, Asa Tracey, his Grandfather, influenced him with his stories of working the goat bellows for his uncle. Asa would pump the goat bellows all day long to fuel the fire in the forge that would melt silver in a small cast iron crucible. This process was very labor intensive and his grandfather hated it. The molten silver would then be poured into a tufa stone mold to form an ingot. The jeweler would then execute his craft and a new piece of jewelry would be created.“I wanted to see finished jewelry and wanted to learn everything I could. Whenever we would go to Gallup, NM, I would visit curio stores to see creations in silver.” Ray spent time viewing jewelry designs at the Gallup Intertribal Indian Ceremonial and at the Navajo Nation Fair. Anywhere, there was jewelry on display; Ray could be seen viewing the works of art.Ray’s family moved to Ganado, AZ when he was six years old. One summer day when he was nine years old, he complained to his mother of how bored he was. The next day his mother enrolled him into summer school and changed his life forever. He went straight to art class and found a silver smithing table in the corner. He remembered his grandfather’s stories and the rest is history. “In class I fabricated my first ring out of silver for my Mother. I found an unknown stone and made a cabochon. I tried to copy an old style ring design that I had seen at Hubbells Trading Post. One teardrop flanked the sides of the stone. It was a very simple design but it took me a week to finish. I kept melting the silver. I made my next silver and stone creation at the age of 21 and gave it to my mother. It was another ring, but this time it was a split shank with three ribs and three tear drops on the side of the stone.” I told my father, I want to make jewelry for the rest of my life.”Ray continued making jewelry while attending Brigham Young University. Studying chemistry and physics by day and making jewelry at night. “The designs were simple, my first love was Old Style Navajo jewelry. Weekends were spent traveling to Gallup, NM, to sell his work. While at BYU another opportunity arose to express his creativity—acting. “I wasn’t a very good student so Hollywood had an instant appeal. My gift of creativity carried over into acting. Acting was just another outlet of creative expression.” His adventurous nature allowed Ray to spend several years as an actor in feature films and television. This acting detour never made him lose interest in jewelry design. Eventually, Ray’s love of jewelry brought him back to New Mexico to permanently pursue this art form.“One time while traveling to Albuquerque from Gallup, I noticed the horizon over Laa Pueblo. I saw steps on a mesa. I incorporated this imagery of tiered steps into a bracelet design.”“Another time, while golfing at Hobble Creek Golf Course, I saw pebbles aligned in a  row on the river bottom. Those pebbles became my inspiration to place them on the sides of an inlaid bracelet.”“Sometimes my creativity comes to a screeching halt. When this happens I go to my roots; Old Style jewelry. That is the place of fascination. The Old Ones utilized rudimentary tools to create their simple, yet perfected, pieces of craftsmanship. From this point I am able to create from an inspiring idea. On the flip side, sometimes my mind becomes flooded with more designs than I can remember. Ideas come so quickly I can’t draw them fast enough.”“When I see someone wearing one of my designs, it takes me back to the time when the piece was created. Sometimes I can recall what I was eating or even the music I was listening to. I will remember the inspiration that helped create that design.”Ray has found his path or gift of self-expression that has blessed, enlightened, and influenced his life and others. Awareness of this special gift, fuels his energy and creativity. Inspiration helps to translate his creativity into artistic-visual expression. His creations stand as transitional figures from traditional to contemporary.  He creates something good as he is drawn toward untouched fields of yet-to-be-discovered imagery. Unknowingly he is creating a legacy from which generations can learn and grow. Ray has learned to appreciate and embrace the journey of life and its gifts.
