I didn’t know before this trip that Eero Saarinen designed the #stlouis arch. I pushed to name our son Eero but my wife decided against it in the end. #architecture #design

The Warner Theatre in West Chester, Pennsylvania was a 1,600 seat cinema from 1930 into the 1970s. After an attempt as a live theatre in the 1980s, the auditorium was demolished in 1986. Since 2012 the surviving art deco facade and lobby serve as the entrance to a hotel on the same site.

Plate 37 is Printemps, designed by Henri Sauvage & Georges Wybo in a sophisticated style, more appropriate to the modern exhibition of 1937 than the dying gasp of #ArtDeco in 1925
Plate 38 is Studium du Louvre by Albert Laprade with sculpture by Albert Binquet and wrought ironwork by Edgar Brandt

A big sculptural sterling silver late Art Deco to early modernist floral brooch by Marvin Rudow of Rockport, MA, circa 1940s.

A huge vintage 1940s 50s Art Deco handmade sterling silver modernist floral Flower design brooch by Marvin Rudow of Rockport, MA. Rudow was an early east-coast artisan jeweler working in the 1930s to at least the 1970s period. He lived in NYC where I'm guessing he was an instructor at one of the local colleges/universities, and opened his shop in Rockport only during the summer months. Rudow also made copper and copper enamel jewelry in the 1950s. In any case, this is a great Art Deco to modernist design (contains elements of both, in my opinion), entirely handmade, and in great shape after all these years! Measures 3" tall by 1.5" wide, and weighs 9.7 grams. Marked at back as shown, "Rudow Sterling". Rudow is also well known for his copper and copper enamel jewelry from the 1940s 50s era, and I'll be adding a couple examples soon. Excellent vintage condition.

I fell for a guy who was into Wright. One of our early dates was a visit to the Darwin D. Martin House. We're still together 37 years later and have memories of visiting many other Wright buildings.
