    1944

    An article entitled “Artists in Industry” in this 1944 issue of Fortune magazine explored the design process used by Ray and Charles. The article states, “Eames immediately took the opportunity to carry out his idea of the artist in industry by gathering a group of architects, sculptors, and designers to form a staff under the general direction of himself and John Entenza, editor of Arts & Architecture. In the group were Margaret Harris, English stage-set designer; Marion Overby, sculptor and former assistant to Carl Milles; Gregory Ain, progressive architect; and Herbert Matter, Swiss photographer and designer whose work has included FORTUNE covers.”
