Tension at Night

A great drawing of a dangerous situation. Made by Gordon Horner (1915-2006) who will be familiar to readers of The Autocar from 1946 to 1980 and to those who remember the super artwork of some of the Castrol Achievement booklets of the 1960’s and 1970’s. His work, although initially similar to that of Gordon Crosby with its attention to detail and speed, rapidly developed into a looser style with the use of far bolder bright colours, particularly the bright blues, reds and yellows which predominate many of his works. This loose style superbly reflects the speed and shimmer of vehicles. (text by Tony Clark from Motoring Art Information)
