Plywood During the War

Studies for Leg Splint Sculpture

Ray Eames

1943

The leg splint pattern inspired Ray’s sculptural creativity. These two exploratory ink and graphite illustrations take advantage of the organic outline of the splint’s form and have a correlation to the Molded Plywood Division of the Evans Products Company logo.
