Nicolai Ouroussof has written a thoughtful article entitled “Making the Face of Modernism Familiar” in the Art & Design section of The New York Times (online) which looks at the exhibition “Eero Saarinen: Shaping the Future” now at the Museum of the City of New York, covering the architectural and other design contributions of the world-renowned modernist architect Eero Saarinen, son of Eliel Saarinen, and famous for, among other work, New York’s TWA Terminal and the Dulles International Airport Terminal. This deeper look at the work of such a major contributor to American Modernist Architecture and design and its political, social and economic contexts is well worth your time.
