Product Description
Book Description
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. Riviera Cocktail photographer 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 her Lancia, and many more are featured with their motor toys. With a keen eye and playful exuberance, his images define fifties style.

Curiously unengaging but lovely, Sep 22 2010

This review is from: Stars and Cars of the 50s (Hardcover)
Beautiful large format and excellent quaility. About 1 in 5 photographs are artistically memorable, with the rest interesting but not amazing. Though the stars and cars are well identified, one extra sentence about each with the photos would have added considerably to the interest. This is a book that lends itself to a good look one time, not a book that you will pick up time and again. Fun for period auto enthusiasts, but the cars are definitely secondary in emphasis.

The book arrived in quick time and has great quality, I recommend the seller to all of the Amazon! The pictures are great and show a very good time in the history of cinema in the cities of Nice, Cannes and Monaco. Very good!
