Description
This is a vintage modernist cuff bracelet artisan crafted in Taxco, Mexico sometime in the 1990s. The most fascinating aspect of this design is the fact that it has a clear Mexican perspective. Unlike the austere icy designs crafted by Scandinavian jewelry artisans or the dramatic pieces produced by Israeli artisans, Mexican modernism has a diffuse earthy warmth. It displays an innate naturalistic feel....it is truly an unique art form. The cuff has a purely modernist look with rectangular shapes alternating between reflective & oxidized, between textured & smoothly polished. It has the perfect geometry expected of a postmodernist design, a sculptural presentation & a stunning symmetry which captures the eye. The look appears to have been inspired by a Piet Mondrian painting, abstract style with an artistic vocabulary reduced to simple geometric elements. It is a beautiful work of postmodern Mexican artistry.
