Our retrospective image of 1930s America derives in large part from Norman Bel Geddes (1893–1958), the self-taught polymath who virtually invented the profession of industrial design. Thanks to Geddes and his pioneering New York firm, these were the years of Streamline Moderne, a particularly American variant of Modernism—smoother, softer, and more accessible than the stringent machine aesthetic of Le Corbusier or the late-phase Bauhaus. Yet Geddes never quite found a place in the pantheon of American high style designers, and the fascinating survey that the curator Donald Albrecht has put on at the Museum of the City of New York therefore comes as something of a rediscovery.

The Mauretania, Milton J. Black, Architect 1934 A gem of the Streamline Moderne Style, the Mauretania was designed for actor Jack Haley (the 'Tin Man' in 'The Wizard of Oz') and his wife Flo. The pair lived in the penthouse apartment for twenty years. The rounded exterior walls and second floor balconies with railings suggest a luxury ocean-going liner. During the summer of 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy occupied the penthouse during the Democratic National Convention. The Mauretania is located at 520-522 N. Rossmore Avenue in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Please do not use this image in any media without my permission. © All rights reserved.
