lessons from bernard rudofsky

Rudofsky1

the bernard rudofsky exhibit opens at the getty today!  i never knew that there was such an interesting man behind the sandals.  this is what the getty has to say about him...

bernard rudofsky (american, 1905–1988, born in austria) was an architect, curator, critic, exhibition designer, and fashion designer whose entire oeuvre was influenced by his lifelong interest in people's concepts about the body. he is as well known for his controversial exhibitions and publications as he is for the design of the popular bernardo sandals in the 1950s and 1960s...lessons from bernard rudofsky illustrates rudofsky's thought process through the diverse presentation of sketches, architectural models, travel notebooks, photographs, sculptures, fabrics, and footwear...

below are a sketch and a couple photographs from the book accompanying the exhibit.
