AEMES: the architect and the painter (SOLD-OUT)

On June 25 at 8.30 PM, the ADAM – Brussels Design Museum, together with Cinéma Galeries, invites you to the open-air screening of the film Eames: the architect and the painter. The screening takes place in the garden of the museum. Reservations are mandatory via info@adamuseum.be. Places are limited.

 

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 soldiers 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 provides a candid view of the emotional inner lives of two great American artists as they applied their genius to practical problems and innovation, not out of a sense of ego, but out of sheer creative necessity.
