Motorsport became a subject for serious graphic art almost as soon as racing itself began, with early petroleum brands and race organizers commissioning ambitious illustration to sell speed as glamour. By the postwar decades, Grand Prix events across Europe were producing some of the most kinetic commercial art of the era, and artists like Dexter Brown brought a painterly intensity to the genre that went well beyond event advertising. What's shown here spans that full arc, and all of it is period original work.
