History of the visual Arts and graphic Design

About

Codex 99 is either an occasionally updated weblog or incrementally expanded website about the history of the visual arts and graphic design.

Exactly what the “visual arts” are is a good question and mostly follows the Stewartian argument of “I’ll know it when I see it.” So far this has meant old photos, National Geographic, color theory, long-dead stage actresses, things Victorians liked, Swiss cartographic relief, the history of the Greek and Latin alphabets, physicians in Nazi Germany, the Bible or parts thereof, French book illustration, art nouveau, mid-century pin-ups, board and card games, Charley Harper, Bradford Washburn, and Ernest Hemingway. In other words - typical design blog stuff.

Individual posts are embellished with diagrams, drawings, illustrations, maps, and photographs. Wherever possible, these images are linked to much larger versions.

The Work of Charles and Ray Eames

The Work of Charles and Ray Eames: A Legacy of Invention

Home | Exhibition Overview | Public Programs | Acknowledgments

Sections: Biography | Space | Culture | Beauty | Furniture | Science

Charles Eames (1907-78) and Ray Eames (1912-88) gave shape to America's twentieth century. Their lives and work represented the nation's defining social movements: the West Coast's coming-of-age, the economy's shift from making goods to producing information, and the global expansion of American culture. The Eameses embraced the era's visionary concept of modern design as an agent of social change, elevating it to a national agenda. Their evolution from furniture designers to cultural ambassadors demonstrated their boundless talents and the overlap of their interests with those of their country. In a rare era of shared objectives, the Eameses partnered with the federal government and the country's top businesses to lead the charge to modernize postwar America.
