Eames: The Architect & The Painter
by Jason Cohn and Bill Jersey, USA 2011, ’81, Italian
MAXXI Piazza, Spazio YAP – admittance free
The first film about Charles and Ray Eames since their deaths and the only film to peer inside their collaboration, their marriage and the “Renaissance studio” they created in a gritty warehouse in Venice, CA. From a trove of archival material, primarily the stunning films and photographs produced in mind-boggling volume by Charles, Ray and their staff during the hyper-creative forty years of the Eames Office. Family members and design historians help guide the story, but it is in interviews with the junior designers swept into the “24-7” world of “The Eamery,” that a fascinatingly complex picture of this husband and wife creative team really emerges.
