Outlaws

“Form follows function.” The architect Louis Sullivan coined this famous phrase to declare that the form of an object should reflect its purpose. He attributed the idea to an ancient Roman notion that a structure must exhibit three qualities: solid, useful, and beautiful. Great design (form) delights the senses. I especially admire it in utilitarian objects that often go unnoticed. Inspired by their beautiful designs, I gathered a grouping of such objects that have been outlawed, banned, or shunned: a perfect but lowly incandescent light bulb, a candy-striped plastic straw, an aerosol spray can, a Cuban cigar box, a vintage opium pipe, and a well-used tube of cadmium red oil paint, all overseen by one of my favorite outlaws – James Dean.
