American industrial design has long been popular with collectors, yet scholarship has seemingly lagged behind. Streamlining, an influential style during the 1930s, has been the subject of a few books and exhibitions, yet it is only now that just tribute has been paid to all the furnishings and appliances that made that decade, stylistically speaking, such a wonderful time. ⁁merican Streamlined Design: The World of Tomorrow,†the first major survey exhibition devoted to the subject, is on view at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Montreal (MMFA) through October 28. The show comprises an exquisite selection of iconic items from the private collection of New York businessman Eric Brill, who recently donated more than 750 pieces to the Liliane and David M. Stewart Collection at the MMFA. Curated by David A. Hanks and Dr Martin Eidelberg, the show has been termed ⁴he most comprehensive exhibition ever mounted on the subject.
