One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series .....
Your scribe likes nothing better than a good ol' birthday celebration and today we celebrate the life of one of the great Yorkshire artistic exports of all time.....Henry Moore. Henry banged out (literally) thousands of sculptural masterpieces over a career that Moore says started when he was 11 years old in his marvel at the works of Michelangelo.
His works are scattered across the globe in all manner of galleries and public spaces. On a trip to Toronto your scribe was lucky enough to have had a few moments down time to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario. Your scribe likes nothing better than to take in some art and culture on an afternoon of Canadian blizzard and with wind chill we were well below minus 10 C, so it was nice to be indoors!!!!! When ensconced inside, low and behold, your scribe found the most extraordinary collection, in fact the largest collection of Henry Moore sculptures in the world. The "Two Large Forms" that greets you on arrival at the gallery is something to behold also.
Henry....you probably never wore a cuff link in your life but regardless, we name you "Honorary" Link Man of the Day!!!!!.
Ontario to some is the other end of the universe and when those winds blow across Toronto you know you're cold! But regardless your scribe had many a weekends escape to Ottawa and Toronto from the grind of New York City. There are some architectural marvels there to look at like Brookefield Place and the CN Tower. When there, your scribe had a wonderful afternoon down in the Distillery District. Food, wine, cuff links and culture to name a few of your scribes hobbies and past times are to be found there.
Today's links were found in a modern jeweller that recycles old watches and small machinery in to modern dazzling pieces. They are the artist's interpretation of a jet engine from old brass clock parts. Today they are worn with a tailored cotton shirt and a copper coloured Gucci silk neck tie.
