entry arrow9:19 PM | Eames



Currently watching a documentary on Charles and Ray Eames — artists and designers after my own heart. They believed that all art connects, and in their case, architecture and design, film and photography, and painting in particular. I love that they were mavericks. I love that they started their career with a failure [i.e., the famous Eames chair was notorious for starting out to be a literal award-winning failure of a chair — they could not find a way to manufacture it, until they actually did]. I love that they did film. My favorites are still Powers of Ten [1977] and Day of the Dead [1957] and Symmetry [1961], because these short films are so beyond what you would expect Eames to do.
