About this product

Product Information

Margot Van Voorhies was an American in the mid-twentieth century who went to Taxco, Mexico, and established a jewelry design business best known for exquisite enamel work. This fascinating book relates the pains of her childhood and eventual refuge in Mexico, where she developed an artistic talent into the Margot de Taxco workshop, that employed hundreds of artisans, particularly including women. Her associations with Taxco silversmiths, who were taught by innovator William Spratling, became the springboard for her own development and success. Margot's designs are distinctive, often based on spiral motifs inspired by vines and floral imagery. Glorious colored enamels in brilliant hues and original designs distinguish her work. Today, Margot Van Voorhies is considered one of the most productive silver artists in Taxco of the mid-20th century. Her legacy is featured here also, in the work of four contemporary artists who strive to create equally superior modern silver jewelry in Taxco.

    Superb work, and the "backstory" makes the jewelry pieces even more interesting!

    Wonderful backstory of this storied jeweler and craftsperson. She had many tragedies in her life, any one of which might have stopped a less passionate and committed artist; but she persisted and made some of the most beautiful wearable art of the 20th century, advancing the work of many other notable silversmiths of the era. Very enjoyable and edifying read, well written and researched.
