Abstract

The article "Midwest Modern at Cranbrook" discusses the exhibition "Eventually Everything Connects: Expanding the Legacy of Mid-Century Modern Design in the US" at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The exhibition showcases famous examples of modern design treasures and highlights the impact of designers like Ray and Charles Eames, Florence Knoll, Eero Saarinen, George Nelson, and Harry Bertoia. It aims to disperse design credit, spotlighting underdog designers, particularly focusing on female designers, designers of color, and LGBTQ designers of the era to broaden the rich history and narrative of mid-century modernism. The exhibition seeks to deepen visitors' understanding of modernism and explain the cultural significance of the movement's legacy. [Extracted from the article]
