| Description: | Cathy Henderson, associate director for exhibitions, and Helen Baer, associate curator of performing arts, lead a tour of the exhibition "I Have Seen the Future: Norman Bel Geddes Designs America."
Bel Geddes (1893-1958) was an innovative stage and industrial designer, futurist and urban planner who, more than any designer of his era, created and promoted a dynamic vision of the future - streamlined, technocratic and optimistic. Bel Geddes popularized this vision through drawings, models and photographs of spectacular vehicles, buildings and products featured in his books "Horizons" and "Magic Motorways." His most notable effort was his Futurama display at the 1939-1940 New York World's Fair, which adopted the motto "I Have Seen the Future." |
