Modernism, Inc. provides a thoughtful exploration of Eliot Noyes' influence on design, architecture, and the corporate world. Coining the term, "Good Design is Good Business”, Noyes built design programs that essentially “branded” some of America’s most powerful postwar corporations.This film weaves Noyes ’story with the broader context of corporate America’s embrace of Modernism during the period of postwar economic expansion and culminates in the backlash against Noyes and his generation at the Aspen Design Conference during the countercultural upheaval of the Vietnam era. One of the "Harvard Five", Noyes also helped transform New Canaan, CT into a laboratory for residential Modernism. The idea of beauty with utility generated from the Bauhaus art movement continues to remain vital today, and for this we thank Noyes.Screen from Home, Same Day Only
