Earl Pardon: Palette Maestro

April 13, 2008toAugust 10, 2008

Through Aug. 10, Racine Art Museum, Racine, WI. For more information, see www.ramart.org.

The exhibit was organized by Roseanne Raab, and it provides a career survey of Pardon’s work from the 1950s to the 1990s, when he was a major contributor to American studio jewelry.

On the museum’s website, it states: “Trained formally as a painter, Pardon is best known for jewelry that incorporates rich colors in both enameled metal surfaces and colored gemstones. He is often credited to playing a significant role in the revival of the art of enameling, as well as introducing enamel as a design element in industry.”
