DOWNLOAD EBOOKA reprieve from post-war austerity, the 1950s epitomized a time of glamour with its film icons and automobiles, which are admired and emulated to this day. Nothing said, "You've made it," quite like getting glammed up and going for a spin in your brand new automobile. The shapes and shades of cars were bright and exaggerated. Car design showed a fervent embrace of the future and a willingness to experiment with something new. Riviera Cocktail photographer Edward Quinn captured all the stars and idols from the worlds of film, music, and the arts, as well as their admirers. Picasso and his Hispano-Suiza, Brigitte Bardot in her Lancia, and many more are featured with their motor toys. With a keen eye and playful exuberance, his images define fifties style.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In 2009, the Automuseum 'Prototyp' in Hamburg, Germany, organized a special exhibit in Germany or anywhere else in the world: For two months, 23 streamlined automobiles, the body of a record-setting car, and a revolutionary model wind tunnel, all had their aerodynamic rendezvous there. . . . Naturally, so many streamlined cars together were electrifying. Patricia Scholten, daughter of Paul Pietsch, and the Stuttgart Motorbuch-Verlag which she runs, commissioned the Zurich photographer Michel Zumbrunn, who specializes in classic cars, to photograph this unique exhibition of never-before-shown-together streamlined works of art in his own unique style. . . . This history of the streamlined automobile is not illustrated with the black and white photos of former times, used in the relevant books again and again due to the lack of new images; it is illustrated with a porfolio of photograhic art by Zumbrunn and his co-photographer Urs Schmid."--Pages 14-15.
