Last year, a friend of mine introduced me to the work of Ray and Charles Eames, a husband and wife duo that transformed mid-century art and architecture in America.  To this day their influence can be seen in everything from furniture (see the Eames Lounge Chair) to architecture and even film.  Here I've posted one of my favorite of their short films, The Powers of Ten.  A documentary called 'EAMES: The Architect and Painter' recently began streaming on Netflix and I recommend it to anyone interested in learning about these incredible artists.
