Classic Car Lincoln Nash Illustration - Automobilia Timeless Aesthetic, 1935

Automobilia - This advertising illustration captures the timeless Art Deco aesthetic while highlighting the historical significance of the Lincoln Nash. The luxury automobile was manufactured by now-defunct Nash Motors.
The 1935 model year saw yet another complete restyling known as "Aeroform" with a further trimming of body styles. A new two-door sedan was added to the Ambassador Eight series.
Besides it's historical connection to American automotive history, the appeal of this work lies in the dramatic spot lighting of the car set against a dark background. The artist masterfully rendered the figures in this product - and narrative-oriented work. It deserves a second and third glance and then a close-up study.
