T he Michigan premiere of a one-hour documentary film by filmmaker Terri Sarris on the life and work of Detroit-area designer Ruth Adler Schnee, will take place May 2 at Cranbrook. The screening of The Radiant Sun: Designer Ruth Adler Schnee, which will include an introduc- tion by Sarris and a presentation by Schnee, will be followed by a reception. A living legend of modern design, Ruth Adler Schnee developed her aes- thetic sensibilities as a young woman in Germany. Born in Frankfort, she later lived in Dusseldorf, where her family experienced the ravages of Kristallnacht. Her early influences included family friend and Bauhaus artist Paul Klee. She and her family got out of Nazi Germany in early 1939, immigrating to the United States and settling in Detroit, where she graduated from Cass Technical High School. She further refined her ideas as a student at the Rhode Island School of Design before receiving her master of fine arts in design in 1946 at Cranbrook Academy of Art, where she worked with famed architect Eliel Saarinen. After graduating from Cranbrook and serving an internship with American industrial designer Raymond Loewy in New York, Ruth Adler married Edward Schnee and with him formed Adler-Schnee Associates, an interior design firm in Detroit that helped to bring the Mid-Century Modern movement to Michigan. She collaborated with Buckminster Fuller on the Ford Rotunda in Detroit (1952- 53) and with Minoru Yamasaki in spec- ifying finishing materials for the World Trade Center in New York (1970-77). Her genius as a textile designer was recognized early in her career with a citation of merit from the American Institute of Decorators in 1947 and 1948; and, much later, her work was featured in the Montreal Museum of Decorative Arts' pivotal exhibition and publication Design 1935-1965: What Modern Was (1991), as well as in Cranbrook's centennial exhibition and catalogue,100 Treasures of Cranbrook Art Museum (2003-04). Now in her 80s, Schnee still lives and works in Michigan, designing woven textiles for Anzea. She is active in the Detroit design community as a preserva- tion advocate for the city's Modernist history. The film tells the her story, exploring her life, her work and the challenges she faced as a woman architectural designer who encountered not only gender bias but anti-Semitism as well. The film's director/co-producer, Terri Sarris, is senior lecturer in the Department of Screen Arts and Cultures at the University of Michigan; co-producer Ronit Eisenbach is a faculty member at the University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation and a grad- uate of Cranbrook Academy of Art with a master's degree in architecture. ❑ The Radiant Sun: Designer Ruth Adler Schnee will be screened 1 p.m. Sunday, May 2, at the Cranbrook Institute of Science Auditorium in Bloomfield Hills. $10 art members; $15 adults and seniors; $6 full-time students with ID.
