I fortunately stumbled across your channel. Thank you for producing a captivating, binge-worthy series. You're an excellent host and guide through an introspective tour through the design world.
Thank you so much for putting these lectures online. I'm not a design student, just a hobbyist woodworker who loves mid century design and stumbled on this channel. I'm now binge watching all of them!
Enjoyed this tremendously! My aunt's every day dishes for her wedding in the early '50s were American Modern, and I have a large collection of place settings and serving pieces, plus the Wright's "Guide..." book, some spun aluminum pieces, and a tablecloth. Also met their daughter at a book signing in NJ many years ago. Best find: the aluminum bun warmer for 25 cents!! at the church thrift shop next to my home in PA.
So I am on my 2nd time watching your wonderful classes and this time I noticed that I have a Russell Wright Iroquois teapot! It is a repro made by Oneida, but, that design! Probably got at Goodwill...(:
OK, I cheated. My 85 yr. old brain couldn't keep up with your words. But I certainly thank you for some beautiful visuals, one being 'Tulip' chair and all Russell Wright pics!!!!! NM USA Also, someone said, " there's no such thing as original art". So it's interesting watching these folks evolving from each other.
The interview you are looking for is part of the documentary "Throwing Curves" (yes, someone made a film about Eva) Jyll Johnstone, Canobie Films. I recommend it.
... oh, and by the way, the first time I talked to her, I got politely advised by Eva that she makes it a point to "NEVER talk to anyone who uses the word 'STILL'." I was inviting her out to speak at ArtCenter and I assured her that she would never again hear me say that she was "still" working. I have many stories about what I learned at her knee.
@@HistoryofID Years ago I walked into Vidiots, a West LA landmark rental place for obscure and wonderful films, and babbled at the counter guy that I was looking for a "documentary, can't remember the name, could have been PBS, and it covered Robert Moses, and I can't find it!" Without missing a beat or looking at any sort of catalogue, he said, "Why, that's volume 8 of Ric Burns' series on New York." Coulda kissed him. It's an excellent series, by the way.

Well done. 1000% profit on that score!
The story about Isamu Noguchi volunteering to help in an internment camp and then winding up a full-on prisoner there is heart wrenching.
M. Bird is the best! It's amazingly informative, yet entertains and best artist of presentation... THankyou
These videos should be on "Big TV".... really. Eva Zeisel! What a gal !!

I strongly agree with the gentleman below (Keith). Thank you.
Thanks. I will know what I found in the thrift shops, now, if I am lucky.

I'm binge watching this series like it's a new series of Stranger Things.
I love the story about Freda Diamond, Paul Robeson, and Emma Goldman.
Yes we NEED a big Hollywood movie about it!!!!!
Who makes your eyeglass frames?
(And that Roll Easy vacuum is beautiful!)
They are just inexpensive reading glasses from readers.com. No big secret.....
Again thank you. Very interesting.
Thank YOU very much 😁

This is fucking amazing
there is nothing unprofessional about gossip, it's like adding lace to a plain dress
