Eero Saarinen, Shaping the Future, at the Museum of the City of New York | By Ada Louise Huxtable – WSJ.com

noted — JeffRickard @ 2:03 pm
There is something profoundly moving about this show; an inescapable nostalgia pervades it for that elusive American Century. The faith in the future, the belief that science and technology would bring us a better world, is part of a more innocent era. Seeing how one architect expressed its hopes and aspirations helps us to recapture the moment and value the maker on his own terms, in his own times, and in the context of what we have become.
