the architect & the painter.

Having just visited the home of Ray and Charles Eames this past February, I was thrilled to hear about the documentary featuring their life and work.

Eames: The Architect & The Painter truly inspired me to add a little more play into my workflow. The directors interviewed friends, family, and colleagues from the Eames office. It definitely wasn't the fluffy love story interlaced with their successes — as I expected — but rather a true story, complete with greed and failures in work and affairs outside the home/office. However, the real story was still magical and I feel like Ray finally got the credit she deserved.

I'd consider it a must-see. It's playing in Chicago until the 12th, so get out there!
