Description
View of elevation drawings by Ruth Adler Schnee for the Chicago Tribune's "Better Homes for Better Living" competition in 1946. This piece was part of an exhibition entitled, "Ruth Adler Schnee: Modern Designs for Living," held at the Cranbrook Art Museum in Bloomfield Hills, MI, December 14, 2019 - March 15, 2020. Printed on placard: In her winning design for the Chicago Tribune’s 1947 “Better Rooms for Better Living” competition, Ruth conjures the satisfying precision of high modernism’s glass and steel, with warm and inviting attention to the needs of home’s imaginary residents. Glass is used for its smoothness, clarity, and ability to conduct light and color as much as its ability to open the space into the landscape.
