Black History Fact: Modernist jewelry designer Art Smith was one of the major 20th century jewelry artists. Art Smith was born to Jamaican parents in Cuba in 1917, but his family settled in Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1920. He received a scholarship to Cooper Union, where he was one of only a handful of Black students. After college, he also took a night course in jewelry making at New York University.
