Classic Porsche Painting - 2

...Thanks to artists like Gary Doyle there is an excellent historical picture of what the past racing days were really like. Of course there are also plenty of films but there's something about looking at that Porsche painting that just brings the imagination of the actual race to life.

But there's more than Gary Doyle, almost every automotive artist of the last 50 years has spent time painting the cars from that Silver Car era. These were cars that were powerful, personal, and made a visual statement so painting them was hard to resist. And the paintings so explicit that you can quickly identify some of the earlier drivers.

Look around some of the galleries. You'll find paintings from many of the Grand Prix races. You'll find terrific paintings that include some of the famous drivers like Carraciola, Neubauer, Huhnlein, and many others. There are even paintings of the crash between Dick Seamn and Ernst von Delius who was killed in that accident.

Gordon Crosby also did some great charcoal drawings of the earlier race days. In fact many would agree that he is one of the most important artists of a historical nature and the artist who actually played an important role in the development and recognition of automotive artists.

Carlo Demand is recognized as one of the most outstanding transportation artists with 17 books to his name relating to racing and 128 charcoal drawings of automobile racing. Graham Turner was a British automotive artist that painted a great deal of book covers as well as paintings.

So if you are looking for a Porsche painting there are plenty of great artists to choose from whether you want something historical or modern.
