Bruce Wheeler and Nicola Wood. At Pebble Beach, these artists present new works in a variety of mediums, including watercolors, acrylics, oils, gouache, pen & ink, clay, wood and metals. “The entire show is brand new every year,” explained Ken Eberts of Temecula, president of the AFAS. Founded in 1984, the AFAS has just 32 members, but they are some of the world’s finest automotive artists. Their first exhibit as a group was hosted by the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 1986. The artists — who come from England, Germany, France and Canada, as well as the U.S. — will be on hand to celebrate their favorite subject, the art of automotive design. “Cars are designed by artists,” Eberts offered. “Their bodies are essentially functional sculpture.” For most of the participating artists, a love of cars has been a lifetime journey. “As a kid, I grew up in the Bronx,” Eberts recalled. “Living among concrete, bricks and asphalt, the only thing that would catch my eye were the cars.” Many of the participating artists were able to par- lay their creative skills and their affection for cars into careers as automotive designers. Both Mayer and Eberts worked for Ford in that capacity. But, like many of his contemporaries, Eberts was- n’t ready to give up his love of cars when he retired. “I missed cars,” he conceded. “So I started doing paintings of them. Then I found someone who was interested in selling them. That’s how I got started.” Bill Neale, a resident of Dallas, Tx., and a found- ing member of the AFAS, turned to painting cars after a career as a commercial artist in the advertis- ing industry. “I’ve always painted cars and airplanes,” Neale explained. “That’s what got me into the advertising business as an illustrator. Now I’m retired and I paint full-time.” It’s not surprising that the artists — many of (Top) “A Little Ahead of Schedule,” by Tom Fritz, a 46” by 25” oil on canvas, depicts a 1932 Ford racing whom are retired or seniors — would turn to an ear- a Baldwin locomotive.

lier era for creative inspiration. “Some of us are like historians,” Maher said. “We’re creating snapshots in time.” Plus, it’s easy to get nostalgic about antique car designs, which placed a greater emphasis of creativi- ty and refinement than is usually seen today. “I’m probably dating myself, but there just aren’t Piccolo as many drop-dead beautiful cars as there used to a collection of Curiosities & Indulgences be,” Maher added. He said automotive design reached its artistic peak Dolores & Fifth 624-4411 decades ago. www.piccolocarmel.com “1932 was a great year for car design,” he recounted. “1955 was a fabulous year for American cars. The mid-60s weren’t too bad either. They spawned the muscle cars.” The diversity of contemporary and vintage car designs provide artists with a seemingly endless source of subject matter. Throw in a variety of medi- ums and styles, and you have the recipe for a fasci- nating and dynamic fine art exhibit. “Everybody has their own way of looking at some- thing,” Maher offered. “To see the same car depict- ed by different artists is really interesting.” While automotive art is the subject of the ASAF gathering, most members are simply thrilled to be coming to Pebble Beach. “We’ve been traveling to Pebble Beach for many years,” Neale said. “It’s the single most important show for ASAF members, and we’ve made a lot of friends there.” Eberts has been attending the Pebble Beach show since its inception. “It’s the top automotive art show in the world,” he said. “It’s really an honor to be there.”
