| Summary |
"Robert Lee Morris is unquestionably one of the most innovative designers of body ornament of our time. Long noted for his distinctive fusion of primal forms, hand workmanship, and cutting-edge sensibility, his organic pieces are enthusiastically sought by connoisseurs of high fashion around the world." "This book, written by the artist himself and profusely illustrated with examples of his work, presents the varied production of this design genius over the course of his career. The many images of Morris's works in metal and stone will fascinate anyone interested in the history of design, and will be an inspiration to collectors, designers, and students alike."--BOOK JACKET. |
