Paul Lobel
Paul Lobel was an American modernist jewelry designer and silversmith who was active in the mid-20th century. He was born in Germany in 1899 and immigrated to the United States in 1924, where he studied at the Art Students League in New York City.
Lobel's jewelry designs were characterized by their bold, sculptural forms and minimalist aesthetic, which reflected the influence of the modernist movement. He often worked with silver and other metals, and his designs were notable for their use of negative space, asymmetry, and organic shapes.
In addition to his jewelry designs, Lobel was also known for his silver hollowware, which included bowls, pitchers, and other decorative objects. His work was highly regarded by critics and collectors, and he was a frequent exhibitor at museums and galleries throughout the United States.
