National Alliance of Art and Industry Exhibition. Vintage News. 1934.
'Beauty, usefulness, and economy' are said to be the trinity of modern design. Russel Wright's aluminum and cork is in the exhibition at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsburgh. Designs by Gilbert Rhode, Walter Dorwin Teague, Walter von Nessen, and Simon Slobodkin were also represented. Perhaps interesting to note is the fact that Russel Wright has brushed shoulders with Simon Slobodkin, one of the 20th-century's early modernist dinnerware designers. Simon Slobodkin would go on to run a couple of different potteries and design dinnerware for W. S. George, Stetson China, and possibly Blue Ridge as well.
