Art and Cars Pantheon - Solved by Allemano, almost alone, and metalshapes
« on: May 29, 2009, 05:46:49 PM »
This time, we're not dealing with actors, writers or musicians. Nor the car they drove, were filmed in, or died in.
This time we only have PAINTERS. Guys whose images dealt with cars, or car culture.
Nine painters, nine paintings. You have to make pairs: match each painter with his own work, name the painter and give the exact name of the painting.
2 points for each pair. Incomplete answers will not be be commented.
It may be a little tough at the beginning, easier as you go on. And I hope that those of you who don't know these guys' work will discover and like it.

Artist A    Canvas 1 

Canvas 2    Artist B 

Artist C    Canvas 3 

Canvas 4    Artist D 

Artist E    Canvas 5 

Canvas 6    Artist F 

Artist G    Canvas 7 

Canvas 8    Artist H 

Artist I    Canvas 9

Artist B is James Rosenquist who matches canvas 7 "I Love You with my Ford"
Canvas 6 is Richard Estes' "Apollo". Richard Estes is Artist A if I'm not mistaken

Canvas 5 is John Baeder's " White Palace Cafe" from 1980. I only could find an old pic
showing him, but guess John Baeder is Artist D, for he's the only left with curls...


Edit: There are several clips on YouTube about him and his work.
And on one of them he's in a recent interview – looking very much like Artist D  ;)

Did I underestimate the artistic culture of Autopuzzlers?
Another 5 correct pairings by Allemano, 1 by metalshapes... Maybe I should have granted only 1 point per pair (especially as Allemano is going to catch up with me thanks to this puzzle).

Just one thing: Canvas 3's name isn't complete. What would it exactly be, Allemano?

And he does an even gets in front of me!
Well done, even if you make me feel sorry that this puzzle didn't stay unsolved long enough. One question: it's no wonder to me thet metalshapes identified Robert B. Williams painting. Did you know Williams too, and did he just answered first, or did you mostly knew the pop art and hyperrealist artists?

To be honest: I didn't know any of them by name, but I do have a (basic) education in arts. I simply googled/wikied "Hyperrealism", "Superrealism" and "Photorealism" and checked the related artist one by one. Except two: on canvas 5 I've searched for "White place cafe painting" (5th page on google picture search) and on Canvas 8 for "Standard gas station painting" (or something like that). Google ejected the requests very quickly...
And that's exactly why I didn't find the painting which was solved by metalshapes.  ;D

Well done anyway. As I said, expertise in googling deserves a reward.
Williams is or was a hot-rodder too. That's why I didn't wonder that metalshapes knew him. Here is another (older) one by him.

Yeah, I could tell it was by Williams...  :)


The Automotive art I really enjoy looking at is by Walter Gotschke.

And when it comes to Hot Rods, Jeff Norwell and Jimmy Smith...

I don't know where else to post this pic, but it bothers me for quite a while. I once saved it from an anomynous source, so, no chance to trace it back!

Can anyone of you tell me if this is a painting or a photograph? ???
Intuitively I would say it is painted, cos the colours seem to be artificially bright and it's kind of over-detailed, but I really don't know for sure, do you?

My guess is that this is a picture treated to look like a painting.

Of course Photoshop would be a solution as well...

I am almost sure that this is a painting. Based on a photograph, for sure (see the distorsion due to a wide angle lens).
I has the same exaggerated feeling of reality than hyper-realistic paintings. Now it can be done with oil, or with Photoshop, but I'd say oil. It's true that you can enhance contrasts and sharpness with Photoshop, but while I am not very good neither with oil nor with Photoshop, I'd find it easier and more fun to do it with oil, though.

I agree with you Ray. I took a closer look again and I've suddenly recognized the reflections of the Karmann Ghia's side windows. They appear indeed to be painted..

Anyhow, painter or not. It was a master on the trigger, brush or mouse.

That´s just an effect called HDR

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging

Some really like to use it to re-edit their digital pictures, but mostly the effect looks strange to me.

Personally I stick to "traditional" means of image processing as you can see in my photstream (link in my annex below).
