In
the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20), Mexican jewelry and
other silver objects were crafted with an entirely innovative approach, informed
by modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Antonio Pineda
was a member of the Taxco School and is recognized as a world-class designer.
Pineda’s jewelry is especially known for its elegant acknowledgment of the
human form. It is often said that a Pineda fits the body perfectly, that it feels
right when it is worn. Nearly two hundred examples of Pineda’s acclaimed
silver work will be displayed in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist
Antonio Pineda, is a traveling exhibition organized by the
Fowler Museum at UCLA» in Santa Fe through January 2, 2011. (Photo,
