I was reading through my book on Classis Car- oil paintings by Alan Fearnley
there are 4 with Bugattis.[all in private collections]

p22/23 Parisian snapshot of type 43 in typical paris street with trees and cupola billboard
p63, Targa Florio. Costantini and t35 in the hills winning the 1925.
p77 Montmartre Soiree.a red Atlante on the left plus big mercedes and bentley.
p113 Red and Blue.1933 monaco start with Varzi in bugatti no 10 and alfa with Chiron plus others.
atmospheric feel to them showing exciting surroundins of the times.
plus of course many more good oil paintings.

hope this is not a repeat of previous posts ...

You can make a picture from a slight perspective, I guess that is OK.

Speaking of paintings, I found this print of T59 #59124 offered for sale online a couple of years ago, but I can't find the source anymore. Does anyone know the artist, the gallery or any other information?

Perhaps Rob Roy?

If you like Naive art, I find that it works better with paintings of oversize pigs and cows....

Granted, it's not in the league of other autosport masters, but it ain't Grandma Moses, either. Basically, it's relevant to my research on #59124, which I'm researching for a scale model. And your taste in art runs to....?

Gimme five. Caravaggio is one of my favorites, though he wasn't very good at his depiction of cars. On another note, how about Boccioni? Makes as much sense as Caravaggio.

Though I would assume that many of our forum members are Deco aficionados. How about Tamara de Lempicka?
