Fast five
Big ideas can define careers.

Poster art
Photography capturing candid scenes of city life and major motion pictures are essentially the same thing, according to Steven Poster. The cinematographer should know, having worked on cinematic touchstones like “Blade Runner,” “Donnie Darko” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” “The act of making a photograph, as opposed to the art of shooting a […]

Full Nelson
Stuck in a cubicle? Blame George Nelson, who is considered the father of the modern workstation. Better yet, celebrate George Nelson. Starting Thursday, his work is the subject of a major exhibition at Oklahoma City Museum of Art, running through May 8. “He is one of the most important 20th-century designers,” said Jennifer Klos, curator […]
