REVIEW
The Legacy of Betty Cooke
By Kimber Wiegand

Betty Cooke: The Circle and the Line, at the Walters Art Museum, is the artist's first comprehensive retrospective. It checks all the boxes, taking visitors on a journey through time that chronicles the career of one of the most respected and prolific American jewelry designers. Cooke began her career in the 1940s. It didn’t take long for her to gain national recognition for her clean, minimalistic designs that made use of simple shapes, most notably circles and lines.

"I can spend years with a circle. If you have the ideas and the materials, the results are limitless." —Betty Cooke

While circles and lines themselves are simple, Cooke’s designs are anything but.
