Eames: Architect and Painter

By David Foster


Charles Eames—the architect—and Ray Eames—the painter—are the subjects of a new documentary film dedicated to exploring the lives of this husband–and–wife team who profoundly affected the world of design.

Together, Charles and Ray created furniture, multi–media exhibits, graphics, games, films, and toys. They worked with such prominent companies as IBM, Westinghouse, and Herman Miller to define significant movements in American life—from modernism, to the rise of the computer age.

This is not playing in Michigan? Herman Miller should host this at The Knickerbocker in Holland!

Jon, I agree. It would save everyone a trip to Chicago.

Don’t worry, Eames: Architect and Painter will be airing on PBS in December.

Any chance that this’ll be available via iTunes digital download? It would be so great for those of us outside the US.

Lilian, I’m not sure if the film will be released to iTunes. Eames: Architect and Painter was released by First Run Features, they would be able to answer your question.
