T<\/strong>here are multiple ways that Art has influenced Automotive design and styling<\/strong>. When you bring this subject up with car enthusiasts you usually get the same response — BMW art cars. These are race cars whose livery BMW has over the years commissioned modern artists to paint. What I also see is the influence of a handful of artists in Paris (post WWI)<\/strong> on the design and styling of cars that lives on today.<\/div><\/strong><\/p>\n

Modigliani’s Jeanne Hebuterne<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Amedeo Modigliani <\/strong>was a tragic figure that was in Paris at that time. His work had a distinctive character that elongating all elements on one axis in order to convey the flow and his perception of the subject. This characteristic was picked up by the <\/span>Art Deco movement<\/strong> after his death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Y<\/strong>ou can see Modigliani\u2019s influence in this Art Deco sculpture. Of course Art Deco influenced Art, Architecture and Industrial design<\/strong>. One only has to look at a hood ornament of the \u201920s or \u201930s to see that.<\/p>\n

A<\/strong>nother artist in Paris<\/strong> at this time was Piet Mondrian<\/strong>. He was part of the Dutch \u201cDe Stijl<\/strong>\u201d movement that also influenced Art, Architecture and Industrial design<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Here are examples of De Stijl Art and Industrial design.<\/div>\n

A<\/strong>lthough\u00a0De St<\/strong>ijl<\/strong> had less influence on automotive design it is interesting to see that “the style”<\/strong> still has impact to this day. Below is the 2011 factory Cadillac CTS-V race car.<\/p>\n
