Auto Art: Painting the Dream

Cars have been seen as objects of beauty ever since the first motor vehicles appeared. Artists have been capturing the sculptural form of these mechanical creations in paintings and sculpture for about a hundred years now. Some of the most outstanding and memorable auto images were created in the 1920s and 30s for use in posters and brochures to help manufacturers sell more cars. What was being sold was as much a dream of freedom and individuality, as the car itself.

In my own car artwork, I aim to capture the lines and character of some of the most beautiful car designs, as well as some of the most ordinary ones. I shall be painting Jensens and Ferraris but I also hope to depict Hillmans or Austin Maxis.

You can see more examples of my auto art on my Car Art main page.

And there’s a lot of information about Jensens at the Jensen Owners Club of the UK.

And there’s even more at the Jensen Museum website.
