    According to Christie Romero's "Warman's Jewelry, 2nd Edition," Art
    Smith lived from 1917-1982.  He worked in silver sheet and forged
    silver wire, as well as in brass and copper.  He is known for his
    "biomorphic" approach, i.e., use of the human body as an inspiration
    for his designs.  He opened a shop in the Village, a few doors down
    from Paul Lobel's (1900-1983), in 1948.  Not all his pieces were
    signed, but those that were, were signed in script. 

    I'm afraid that's all the info I have on him.  Hope some of it is
    new to you.
