藝術家William SPRATLING (1901-1967) 生平簡歷

死亡地点： Taxco, Mexico

职业： Craftsman, designer

评论： One of the most influential silver jewelry designers of the 20th century. In 1929, he was an architecture professor at Tulane Univ. when he decided to write a book about Mexico. He settled in Taxco, but his 1931 experiment of making silver articles in Taxco soon grew into an industry. By 1940, he had created a colony of more than 300 silversmiths who executed the "Spratling design" which combined pre-Columbian motifs with modernist design.
