October 2008
A reprieve from post-war
austerity, the 1950s epitomised
a time of glamour with its film
icons and automobiles, which
are admired and emulaterd 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. Riveria Cocktail photographer
Edward Quinn caotured all the stars and idols from the worlds of
film, music and the arts, as well as their admiers. Picasso and
his Hispano-Suiza, Brigette Bardot in her Lancia, and many more
are featured with their motor toys in the 150 duotone photographs
contained in this collection. With a keen eye and playful exuberance,
Quinn's images provide a retrospective of the 1950s personalities,
fashions and va-va-voom vehicles that defined the stvle of the time.
