Artist Studies 1578 : by Eero Saarinen

ℹ️ Eero Saarinen (1910–1961) was a Finnish-American architect and designer known for his innovative and visionary contributions to modern architecture. Born on August 20, 1910, in Kirkkonummi, Finland, Saarinen immigrated to the United States with his family in 1923. He studied sculpture at the Académie de la Grande Chaumière in Paris before pursuing architecture at Yale University, where he later became a faculty member. Saarinen's distinctive style combined organic forms, sleek lines, and innovative use of materials, creating iconic structures such as the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the TWA Flight Center at JFK Airport, and the Dulles International Airport terminal. His furniture designs, including the iconic Tulip Chair, also left a significant mark on mid-century modern design.
