“Without your love it's a honky-tonk parade / Without your love it's a melody played in a penny arcade / It's a Barnum & Bailey world / Just as phony as it can be / But it wouldn't be make-believe if you believed in me.” - It’s Only A Paper Moon lyrics by #EllaFitzgerald
In the gallery adjacent to Art and Jazz - see yesterdays post - you’ll see some incredible turquoise jewelry in “A Little Bit of the Southwest.” This gallery is dedicated to Native America art and features pottery, works on paper, paintings, textiles, and jewelry. These four necklaces, two of which are reversible, are outstanding examples of contemporary jewelry from the Southwest. Included here are a 20th century Squash Blossom necklace, Boyd Tsosie’s Galaxy necklace (2009), Thunderbird necklace (2009) by Charlene Sanchez Reano and Frank Reano, and Necklace by Ernestine and Tony Aguilar (1990). It’s hard to pick a favorite. ❤️ As I prepare to visit Santa Fe for the first time next month, for the 100th anniversary of @santafeindianmarket, I am particularly excited about this installation. #jewelryhistory
Lovers of fashion and jewelry won’t want to miss the @mfaboston’s newly installed Art & Jazz gallery on the third floor of the American wing. Featuring a stunning vignette with fashion and accessories from the 1920s and 1930s - complete with a bracelet from the @caroletanenbaum’s @caroletanenbaumvintage collection - and an exceptional grouping of jewelry by Winifred Mason Chenet, Art Smith, and Joyce J. Scott it doesn’t disappoint. Even if there wasn’t music playing in the background you could feel the beat in the rhythms of these designs. The extraordinary necklace on the top left is by Art Smith and was sometimes called the Ellington necklace and the asymmetrical one with the silver balls, named the Galaxy necklace, was owned by Cab Calloway’s sister Bernice. #jewelryhistory #fashionhistory
Last week the @mfaboston hosted the annual Ross Society Seminar - the first since 2019 - and I shared some treasures from the vault. 📸 Lyndon Tsosie bracelet, Castellani brooch, @tmcrane613 necklace, Elizabeth James Perry medallion, and Joyce J. Scott necklace among them. ❤️ The newest member of our team, @tzujuchenjewelry made sure @jennswope was properly jeweled for the occasion.
I’m so behind in posting and there’s been so many great jewelry things happening. A few weeks ago I had the extraordinary opportunity to spend time with the one-and-only Joyce J. Scott and to look at her work - jewelry and sculpture - alongside her mother’s quilts at @goya_contemporary_gallery. At the @mfaboston we are fortunate to have five necklaces by this award-winning artist. (This is not one of them, it’s one of her most recent works.) Using the humble bead, Joyce takes on subjects like racism and violence. Her jewelry is a beautiful conversation starter and a great example of the way jewelry functions as a communication device. ❤️ #contemporaryjewelry #jewelyart #jewelryartist #beadworker
Very excited to have @tzujuchenjewelry join the #FashionandTextileArts team @mfaboston! 💎💎💎 Repost from @tzujuchenjewelry
