Details

Director Jason Cohn introduces his new documentary, Modernism, Inc., which explores the rise and fall of American Modernism through the lens of one of its most influential practitioners.

Mid-century architect and designer Eliot Noyes built the design programs for some of America’s most powerful postwar corporations, including IBM, Westinghouse, and Mobil Oil.  
 
The film weaves Noyes’ fascinating personal story with the broader context of corporate America’s embrace of Modernism during the period of postwar economic expansion and culminates in the backlash against Noyes and his generation during the countercultural upheaval of the Vietnam era.

The life and work of Eliot Noyes is a vehicle to explore the intersection of postwar business, technology and design–a story that continues to resonate in the contemporary context. Jason Cohn, Director (75 min. 2023)  
 
Cohn's film, Eames: The Architect and the Painter was screened at Modernism Week 2021.
