Riviera Cocktail by Quinn - Earlier Books by Quinn - Films by Quinn
Stars and Cars of the ‘50s
A reprieve from post-war austerity, the 1950s epitomized a time of glamour with its film icons and automobiles, which are admired and emulated to this day. Nothing said,"You've made it," quite like getting glammed up and going for a spin in your brand new automobile. The shapes and shades of cars were bright and exaggerated. Car design showed a fervent embrace of the future and a willingness to experiment with something new.
Edward Quinn captured all the stars and idols from the worlds of film, music and the arts, as well as their admirers. Picasso and his Hispano Suiza, Brigitte Bardot in a Lancia and Onassis with his Thunderbird, and many more are featured with their motor toys. With a keen eye and playful exuberance, Quinn’s images define fifties style.
