Cadillac Art by James Cleworth

"Arturs", wrote some unkind things in the Guest Book on Feb. 23, 2001; to set the record straight,
here is what I know about Mr. Cleworth, the Collectible Auto Artist; he was the subject of an article in
CA 6/1986, p.71-75; the works mentioned include a blue, 1956 Coupe de Ville that was sold to a
Swiss bank executive for $5000 (the only blue Coupe de Ville of Cleworth's that I have seen is
the 1957 model (lower row, left); I have not seen either his painting of a '59 Cadillac with a smashed
front LH fender.  Another article on this skilled auto artist appeared in Car Collector, 3/91

 

With regard to the art of James Cleworth, Database visitor Larry Frank wrote: FYI, the two Cleworth paintings (...57 Coupe de Ville and the '38-39 Cadillac / La Salle) are in my personal collection. I was Harold's publishing partner for some years and I know of no other Blue Caddy painting....It might have been before my time, but I would think I would have heard of it. You have a great site....I'll be back!

Cadillac Art by D. Desorguer

Cartoon-style color rendering of the 1953 Eldorado


Cartoon-style color rendering of the 1957-58 Eldorado Brougham

In 2011, enthusiast Erik Deneyer commented: The [1953 Eldorado] drawing was made by Daniël Desorgher, artist of the series “Jimmy Tousseul”, first published by Dupuis and, later on, by Glénat. The drawing was made external for sale (as an ex-libris) and isn’t an image out of one of the comic albums. Though it wouldn’t surprise me if there were actual Cadillacs represented in the Jimmy Tousseul albums. In La Liste 66 from Eric Stalner a Cadillac Eldorado [Brougham] is used as well [photo above]

Cadillac Art by Steven John Koeppe


Back in the 1960's, bumper stickers and window decals proudly declared Love It Or Leave It , implying that if you didn't love America (exactly like the guy driving the car) you should
get the hell out of Dodge. Unfortunately, such attitudes are still alive and well, today.  John painted this wasted Cadillac as a metaphor for where such thinking has taken us.
We put business interests ahead of environmental and social concerns, we're in debt up to our necks again, and style is valued way ahead of substance. Heading
hell-bent down a bumpy road, we may be headed for a total breakdown.
(© 1988 - Acrylic on canvas, 48x72" -Collection of John Sheppard )

Cadillac Art by E.R. McIntosh

This artist's work was identified kindly by Scott Braunstein.

In June 2003, he wrote this to the CLC: I was at a yard sale and found a neat looking painting of a car (1912 Touring Cadillac). I was amazed by the print and wanted to learn more about it. So I got to a Web site and searched on "paintings cadillac"; there I found your site containing various prints from different artists. As I scrolled down, I saw a section labeled unknown artists. Well I would like to inform you that the painting of the 1912 Touring Cadillac was done by artist  E. R. McIntosh in 1972.

100 x 130 cm, oil on canvas (2006)

1972 II, ATF-88
180 x 220 cm, oil on canvas (2006)

In 1988 Hein Vandervoort graduated from the Royal Academy for the Arts in the Hague.  He has received several subsidies from the Fonds voor de Beeldende Kunsten and his paintings have been bought by such institutions as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Rijksdienst Beeldende Kunst in The Hague etc.  For many years Hein's work has been influenced by his travels through the United States and his paintings have been inspired by photographs taken during these trips. The images he uses are related to experiences, locations, various items etc., rendered in his distinctive style and use of colour.  Sadly, in 2001 many of Hein's paintings were destroyed in a fire at his studio. The fire did not change the focus of his work and in the period immediately following this catastrophe he set about reconstruction 13 paintings that earlier had been purchased by Link Contemporary Art in the Hague. Since the fire all his works are denoted with the initials ATF (after the fire).

Edward L. (Ted) Welch is an established automotive artist based in McAlester, OK. Born in Hughes Springs, Texas in 1938, Ted's love of the automobile developed from an early age. His talent as a technical illustrator led to a career in new 
aircraft and weapons systems concepts.  In 1987, he began focusing his talents almost exclusively on automobiles.  He says, I started painting classic automobiles with enthusiasm and a passion that is hard to understand or explain.
There are several reasons I chose to paint automobiles... the availability of subject matter and an interest in automobiles that existed since childhood, and skills I have acquired in both fine art and technical art. 
His work resides in private and corporate collections across the United States. Ted's preferred mediums for automotive illustrations are watercolor/gouache and acrylics.

I met Vincent and his family in Las Vegas, on the occasion of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club "Grand National" meet in June 2009, where he was exhibiting some of his art for sale.   He has a style very much his own and is equally at ease working with acrylics, water colors and even an air brush. 

 

Cadillac Art by Paul Zanetti

Paul was born in 1961. He started cartooning at age nine, drawing the teachers in school ...and getting kicked out of class. He knew then that cartooning was his future. At age 18 he was appointed editorial cartoonist for the Sydney Daily Telegraph. He was Australia's youngest editorial cartoonist.  Today he is independently syndicating cartoons throughout Australia and overseas.

When he saw his first Cadillac (a '59 Eldorado Biarritz!) it was love at first sight and has been a lifetime love affair. Paul hs owned a number of collectible Cadillacs since the late 1980s.

His hobbies include Michelle, the children, architecture, restoring Cadillacs, locating and restoring mid-20th century modern furniture, collecting and landscaping cacti and succulents.

Paul is a well-known Australian cartoonist. And, yes,
he does drive a 1959 Eldorado Biarritz.  Gita and I are
honored to have been guests of Paul and his lovely wife, Michelle,
during our extended Australian tour in March-April, 2005

This is from an album of collectible cigarette cards bearing the German title, Das Auto von Heute (The Car of Today); the pages are numbered from 1 to 33 and the collection comprises 255 different cards, of which this sixteen-cylinder Cadillac Fleetwood limousine, style #4375; the inner front page of the album features a Nazi party “parade car” (a  Horch ?) flying Swastika pennants from both front fenders; the piece is undated, but I am guessing  it was published circa 1936-37

( résumé en français)

Les automobiles Cadillac ont été source d'inspiration pour de nombreux artistes tant amateurs que professionnels (j'entends par "artiste" les artistes peintres, photographes, sculpteurs at autres musiciens).

Cette page est consacrée aux meilleurs dessins, tableaux, photos, sculptures qu'il m'a été donné d'admirer depuis plus de 45 ans que je suis collectionneur de Cadillac.

Je n'ai pas inclus l'ensemble des dessins et tableaux realisés au sein même de l'entreprise; il se pourrait cependant que par la suite je leur consacre plusieurs pages!

Pour ce qui est des Cadillac en chanson et en musique, reportez vous a cette page.
