Cranbrook Academy of Art was founded through the inspired collaboration of George Gough Booth, a Detroit newspaper baron and philanthropist, and Eliel Saarinen, the Finnish architect who occupies a major position in the history of modern American design and architecture. George and Ellen Booth envisioned the Academy as a school that would train artists, an atelier that would produce objects to embellish and improve the American environment, and a community where art would be integrated with daily life to the benefit of all. In practice, the Academy was born of the Arts and Crafts concerns of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and emerged as the country's preeminent school of art, design, and architecture.
