Final Project

Artist Book

Artist Statement

In creating this project, I wanted to portray to the viewer the art that is a major driving force in the design of the automobile.  When we hear the word “art”, we tend to picture a beautiful Picasso, or a Van Gogh hanging on the walls of a museum.  Not all art, however, is meant to be hanging in a museum.  Some forms of art can be functional, such as a beautiful vase that can be used to help give flowers life, or a contemporary home on the shores of Southern California.  Much like a vase or a contemporary home, in which the artist designed his masterpiece to be beautiful as well as functional, the automobile can be a beautiful and functional masterpiece.  In this book, the photos that I have taken were intended to portray the beauty of the automobile through my mind, in hopes that the viewer will view the automobile as a rolling, functional piece of art.
