Glass</a> (for which the gallery also serves as the representative of the estate) but the show also includes a few works by Vincent Raney, <a href="http://www.architechgallery.com/arch_info/artists_pages/bertrand_goldberg_bio.html">Bertrand Goldberg</a> and <a href="http://www.architechgallery.com/arch_info/artists_pages/rg_martelet.html">R.G. Martelet</a>.<br /><br />David Jameson, the gallery owner, describes the exhibit as follows:<br /><blockquote><span style="font-style: italic;">Mid 20th Century Modernism's most flamboyant designers. Industrial and architectural drawings from post-war to post-moon landing.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Utopian visions were nothing new to America's architects and designers after World War II. However, triggered by an explosion of affordable real estate and hopeful consumerism, manufacturers of the post-war era followed an entirely different design approach. This new philosophy of sensuous shapes envisioned furniture, lamps and radios as almost living beings that could run out to the buyers' car.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Henry P. Glass was perfectly suited to this new visual language. Freed from his Nazi prison camp, he began his design career in America with drawings that practically walked off the paper and into production.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Television and tourism helped transform the new reality away from wartime into the future and that's where we wanted to live. Bertrand Goldberg created theaters, hospitals and apartment buildings that could have come from colonies on the Moon.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In the era when a man's vehicle could resemble his rocket ship to get there, Ron Martelet drew speedboats that could transform into their own transport trailers. His Jet-Skis of the 60s looked to be straight out of "Goldfinger."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">What began as atomic nightmares transformed into space age dreams in "Techni"-colors that were no longer army drab but instead, pink, aqua and hues never before classified. Mid-Century Modernism was something completely different.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></blockquote>Here are some drawings from the gallery exhibit.
