Synopsis



The documentary focuses on Eileen Gray, who worked in lacquer before launching a career as a designer, decorator, and later an architect. Her work in the field of architecture was largely overlooked until she was re-discovered.

Reception



'The Times' gave the film four out of five stars, as they felt it was "a fascinating documentary on the great modernist designer and architect Eileen Gray". 'The Guardian' gave 'Gray Matters' three out of five stars, writing that "what makes this even more compelling is the supporting art-historical input from its numerous interviewees (I developed a particular soft spot for the dulcet-voiced Dr Jennifer Goff of the National Museum of Ireland), who collectively explicate Grays eclectic style, a playful, practical minimalism that evolved substantially over the years".
