Camilo Pardo And His Ford GT Go Full Circle

1) Personally I despise pretentious ‘ tribute car ‘ liveries . Emphasis on the word ‘ pretense

2) Comparing Camilo’s tribute cars to the BMW ‘Art ‘ cars is at best ludicrous . Suffice it to say the BMW Art Cars are paint in original and creative designs [ hence the term ‘ art ‘ ] by some of the 20th -21st centuries most iconic artists .. not an automotive designer who dabbles in illustration and craft

3) So unless there’s some more money than common sense individual is willing to pay a premium for what amounts to a whole lot of nothing .. suffice it to say this’ll be lucky to retain its stock value … never mind attaining any sort of premium

4) As far as the aesthetics .. my disdain for pretentious ‘ tribute ‘ cars aside .. well … at least the craftsmanship and quality are there even if any semblance of originality and ‘ art ‘ are missing [ re; Read ” The Spectacle of Skill” by Robert Hughes

On the subject of what constitutes art, consider this, dear GS: Pablo Picasso, perhaps one of the greatest artists of them all, once said “good artists copy, great artists steal.”

Inventiveness for its own sake can be nonsense, just as “stealing” from the works of those that came before you, more often than not, makes for great art.

I’ve seen all of the BMW art cars and to my sensibilities, some of the art ruined the perfectly good paint of the car.
