BMW Art Car 1977

Using the shape of an automobile as simply a carrier of shapes, lines and two dimensional textures sinks to the depths of a commercial billboard on wheels. Artist who engage in this aesthetic folly are on dope or an out of control ego trip that destroys both the automobile and the "Art". In short; What a bunch of dumb asses.

I was under the impression that the art work was applied to aesthetically and sympathetically enhance the appearance of the car, to make it stand out from the rest of crowd. As far I'm concerned the artist successfully fulfilled the brief, which I doubt you could do!

Hmmmm! Most of the applied "art work' simply cuts up the shape of the automobiles and destroys the total composition. Aesthetic is when every element of the composition works together including the shape they reside. Aesthetic goes far beyond just sympathetic or good design.
