My first book..COPPER ART JEWELRY:A DIFFERENT LUSTRE was published in 1992....and Matisse/Renoir of California copper and enamel modernist design jewelry has been among my favorites ever since. A classicly biomorphic example here of modernist microscopic imagery..this is a pin which sells immediately upon exhibition....as do most designs with science fiction, space age. Jetson's-like styling....especially here in modern mad Palm Springs----certain bracelets and necklaces also sell INSTANTLY, while others, usually smaller, more traditional lady-like designs sit and languish...unpurchased...but pure geometry, biomorphism and the language of modernism is spoken fluently by Jerry Fels, head designer of the firm, and later known as C. Jere', most noteworthy designer and manufacturer of modernist wall sculpture....like pins on steroids! See upcoming Modernism magazine for MORE!
