Artist: George Ham Title: Monaco 1977 Medium: Fine Art Reproduction Giclee on Canvas Image Size: Approximately 20 inches x 15.75 inches Unframed on Unstretched Canvas George Ham (Born in 1900) was born in Laval, Mayenne, France. He's regarded as one of the finest automotive artists in the world. He left behind a legacy of paintings and posters that will immortalize him forever, though he had no descendants to carry on the family name. His work is noted for its painstaking reality and technical accuracy. A part time racing driver and an automotive enthusiast, he duplicated the precise position of every component of the automobile. In most cases he exaggerated details to create a sense of movement. Along with gouache and watercolor paintings, the artist sketched many caricatures in which he depicted the personality of the drivers and their automobiles. Ham was commissioned by Benjamin to illustrate its catalogue early in his career. Benjamin was a French cycle-car manufacturer.
