About this listen

Visit any car museum and watch visitors taking pictures. They always get a shot of the hood ornament. WHY? Perhaps it’s because cars no longer have them. Maybe, but I think there’s more to it than that. The ornament is a small sculpture; it works in the same way an artist’s fine art works – on the emotions. It’s shiny; it catches the eye; it appeals to the emotions; it’s often whimsical and sometimes sexy. This book captures some of that appeal. BUT--There's more here than just great color photos. There's context and commentary. Art Deco, Streamline Moderne, Art Nouveau, rocket ships and flying ladies -- They're all here.
