If you've come down with streamline fever, like I have, there's only one cure. You have to go and get your fix by checking out the exhibit titled, Streamline Design: The Essence of Speed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The recent issue of Modernism Magazine has this write-up on the event:
Following its recent acquisition of a Tatra T87 automobile, designed in 1936, the MIA is mounting an exhibit on streamline design. With its embrace of industrial design and new synthetic materials, the machine and the future, the movement embodied speed and innovation. With works from the institute's extensive Modernism collection by Norman Bel Geddes, Kem Weber, Henry Dreyfuss and Raymond Loewy, among others.
The magazine also features an article on the above mentioned Tatra T87 car that is the centerpiece of the show. Pick up a copy of the magazine or head up to Minneapolis to satisfy your need for speed!
