Eames: The Architect and The Painter
£10 / £8 Concessions / £7 ICA Members
Widely admired for his prolific and varied design work, ranging from architecture to his celebrated chairs, American designer Charles Eames had a profound influence on industrial design in the 20th century. This striking documentary takes a detailed look at Eames, whilst also acknowledging the far-reaching impact his artist wife Ray had on his life and work. Drawing on a wealth of archive material and new interviews with colleagues, friends and experts, the film sheds a fascinating light on the professional and personal lives of this iconic couple, while placing both of them in the wider context of their changing times.
Dir. Jason Cohn, Bill Jersey. USA 2012. 83 mins
