Notes |
Bernard Bernstein studied with Ludwig Wolpert at the Tobe Pascher Workshop at the Jewish Museum in the late 1950s, while working on an M.F.A. in silversmithing at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Bernstein's ceremonial objects, which freely acknowledge Wolpert's influence, adhere to modernist principles of function, simplicity and emphasis on form and proportion rather than surface ornamentation. |
