Hershon, silver magazine, november/ december 2018, pp. 18-25. Another informative article: maria regnier: a paradoxical silversmith of the machine age the hungarian-born silversmith brought her minimalist approach to jewelry and metal housewares first in st. Louis and then across the country. Written by jolene noltethe story of midcentury modern in north america is one of cross-pollination with european-born emigres bringing their cultural heritage with them. One such example is maria regnier, a hungarian-born silversmith who brought her minimalist, machine age approach to jewelry and metal housewares first in st. Louis and then in other us cities. "hand-crafted machine age" though it sounds like an oxymoron, "hand-crafted machine age" is how genny cortinovis, assistant curator of decorative arts and design at the saint louis art museum, describes maria regnier's work. The "hand-crafted" element is because she worked in a small-scale studio rather than for mass production. Her precise and unembellished aesthetic, however, is very emblematic of machine age sensibilities. . . . . "she occasionally ornamented silver articles with enamel, but more often her hand-wrought wares were 'starkly simple,' distinguished by geometric form and fine finishing. "
