ART IN THE MOTOR CAR.

Publication: The New York Times Date: 30 October 1921

Automobile body designers as well as private owners seeking ideas for artistic effects in custom made bodies will doubtless be interested in the exhibit portraying the various steps in the designing of the automobile body, which forms part of the industrial crafts and graphic arts exhibition to be opened tomorrow in the new building of the Art Center, 65-67 West Fifty-sixth Street. The exhibition will demonstrate the application of art to motor car design. Drawings will first show an original sketch in pen and ink of the side elevation of the car, second an interior style, third a color card, upon which is mounted a sample of the paint, fabric, leather, headlining, and other materials in the finishing of the body, where a good idea of their harmony may be gained, and fourth, the ensemble as depicted in carefully rendered color drawings.
