Here is a pair of earrings that, if you have done your research, are a knock off of a Russian Design which the name eludes me right now. Anyway here is the repro being sold at Neimans.
I spotted this ring today on the Neiman Marcus website. It's a Diane vonFurstenburg ring and I think it is beautiful because of the architecture element. However I do think it would be cooler if the metal was gold.
Brian and I went to the Modernism: Designing a New World 1914-1939 at the Corcoran in Washington DC. It was a fantastic show! I highly highly recommend it. It closes on July 26th and admission is $14 per person. So if you live in the area you should hit this show before it's gone forever!
My friend Catie Cueto introduced me to this kind of art a couple of years ago. I was blown away by its ability to take a craft and transform it into high art without changing the creation process.
This is a painting done by my friend Nicole Bourgea. Nicole is a professional artist and this painting is currently for sale. For more information please check her website:
Hi, Welcome to my blog. I love beautiful things and this blog is about the things I find everyday that are extraordinary. I am not a critic, just an enthusiast. I hope you find inspiration here.
I Saw the Figure 5 in Gold
The Great Figure
Among the rain/
and lights/
I saw the figure 5/
in gold/
on a red/
fire truck/
moving/
tense/
unheeded/
to gong clangs/
siren howls/
and wheels rumbling/
through the dark city. - William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)
