BMW Art Cars 3: Lichtenstein's 320i

Roy Lichtenstein's 1977 320i is akin to his drawings. The big dots are straight out of his comic strips. He describes his work as follows: I used "painted lines as a road, pointing the way for the car. The design also shows the scenery as it passes by. Even the sky and sunlight are to be seen....you could list all the things a car experiences - the only difference is that this car mirrors all these things even before it takes to the road ."

Blam. Brilliant. Bravo.
