Finding art in a motorcycle/automobile show

This post came from encouragement/conversation with my parents.  I went to the Easy Rider Convention in my hometown.  Looking at the designs found on motorcycles and automobiles, it made me wonder how far Pop Art has reached.  Because practically all the motorcycles featured some illustrations of famous icons real and fiction.

Also, when will it to come to a point when car and motorcycle designs enter in future art history books?  Probably not as far as we think.  After all, I have read about Sonia Delaunay-Terk’s fabled Bugatti designs in some tomes.  Lastly, let us not Andy Warhol’s car designs.

 

In the PBS American Masters documentary on the man himself, they talk about how after Warhol’s Soup Cans, everything resembles art.

No exaggeration there.
