Once upon a time, only a few years ago if you went to an exhibition of art such as AFAS Night Show Saturday before the Pebble Beach Concours, saw all that was shown the old guard, mostly pre-war cars such as Duesenberg, Bentley, etc.
Then images of muscle cars began to crawl at the foot of the cat, so to speak, but that was inevitable, because some of the greatest artists of our time are former car ad as illustrators Art Fitzpatrick, who painted the immortal Pontiac Grand Prix and GTOIllustration. At the age of 20 he was already four-door with Howard "Dutch" Darrin, designing the 1940 Packard.
Tom Fritz, Ventura, CA, was to "break the mold," one of the first American artists to provide visual and the cars he grew up with, but not LeTourneau et Marchand Bugatti Good Ol 'Hot' Rod, he saw on the streets of San Fernando, a suburb of Los Angeles. Tom's vivid childhood memories of bike and car culture prevalent in southern California in the 60s and 70s arereflected in his Harley Davidson work.Among his clients and his paintings hang in many museums and collections companies, including the NHRA Museum.
And then, just as on the lawns of Pebble Beach, appeared Hot Rods. Oh, were the painters, many of them familiar to the hot rod, many devil property or lusting after the '32 Ford "Deuce" Roadster in his youth, but he never wanted to in polite company at events like Pebble Beach, where the talk was all of Hispano Suiza,Erdmann and Rossi 540Ks, James Young Phantom and the like.
But now the secret is out. We are all hot rodders. It was actually a car is a car mechanic and when we like.
The representations of hot rod that appeared in the visual arts was rich in history, for example, pictures of hot rods in the dry lake bed, where hot rodders raced before the Second World War to lead. see more modern environment are rare but recently gave a flourish of "cruise-in" wasCar impromptu performances at the national level in places such as drive-in restaurants.
And then there's the issue of business model, if it shows a Hot Rod in a drive-in restaurant (like the kind in which the roll-on roll waiter at your shoes), then you run the risk of painting something that Retro-themed commercial restaurants, are currently still in use.
And once you open Pandora's box, what you want to go because it's a dark secret about Hot Rods. Well, time andclean hot rod is one thing, but basically, if you search for the genre, you know, there is another line of hot rod as a "rat rods." Why hot rodders back in the day had enough money to buy Smitty mufflers or axes Rajo, but not enough money to buy the paint, so she ran at the bottom of the pot. There's a whole subtext / kind of hot rodders who have never intended to complete their car to normal "over car" standard. For them it is a statement on four wheels Outlawleave it unfinished.
Name like "face."
to see one of the first books on this side of the car world was looking for artistic Soft Bound Hot Rod by Barry Gifford David Perry photographs of the car through some rough rough ("Wife Beater" T-shirts and many tattoos) built dudes. Perry also wrote the film "Wild at Heart This book captures the time when driving a hot rod you have a" bad guy. "- Almost like riding a Harley.
It 'was a true example of a Hot Rodmeets the fine art I've seen a couple of years, the AFAS tent at Pebble their party. It was like Chip Foose, a young designer who has worked for the Detroit auto makers, but is now famous for its hot-rod design, and went to their tent in a Ford roadster car full of aircraft parts such as exhaust gas to a WWII Fighter!
The artist poured into the tent to see his hot rod and there was a lot of admiration clear indication that, after some well-known American artist bornfor submission is a classic car hot rodders, the name of Bill Cushenberry, Dean Jeffries and Gene Winfield, long before he had ever heard of Sergio Pininfarina and Giugiaro … knew.
