Title: Art and cars #39 - Alan Aldridge's Mini
Post by: Ray B. on February 23, 2010, 09:49:25 AM

Who is he, and what car can he be connected with?

Art and cars. Painters, writers, musicians, actors, movie makers: in a nutshell, artists. Cars of special importance in their work, or in their life.

Rule is: you identify the artist, you have one week to find the rest of the answer. After that, the hunt is opened and anyone can rob you of your point.
Thanks!

Was his heyday in the 1950s and 1960s?
Title: Re: Art and cars #39
Post by: Ray B. on May 17, 2010, 07:57:07 AM
He was too young for the 1950's.
Sixties and seventies.

A painter of motorsport-related pictures?
Title: Re: Art and cars #39
Post by: Ray B. on May 17, 2010, 08:26:22 AM
As I replied to Allemano, illustrator. Not related to motorsport at all. Very famous.
