Tonight marks the opening of the film “Eames: The Architect and the Painter” at Cable Car. The movie centers around the amazing husband and wife designers, and is narrated by none other than current RISD D+M graduate student James Franco. If you like either of these topics, like myself, it’s a must attend film.
Film Summary
The husband-and-wife team of Charles and Ray Eames are widely regarded as America’s most important designers. Perhaps best remembered for their mid-century plywood and fiberglass furniture, the Eames Office also created a mind-bending variety of other products, from splints for wounded military during World War II, to photography, interiors, multi-media exhibits, graphics, games, films and toys. But their personal lives and influence on significant events in American life – from the development of modernism, to the rise of the computer age – has been less widely understood. Narrated by James Franco, Eames: The Architect and the Painter is the first film since their death dedicated to these creative geniuses and their work.
