Book Synopsis
Lavishly illustrated, this catalogue explores the role of the automobile as both object and subject in interwar France, a period of exceptional creativity, innovation and turbulence. Expansive and interdisciplinary, Roaring illuminates the rich creative ecosystems that nourished this golden age of French automotive design. The publication explores the role of the automobile as both object and subject in France between the two world wars. It untangles the impact of fashion, interiors, architecture, aviation and the avant-garde on French automobile design and production. In turn, it highlights the bold, untethered visions of artists like Josephine Baker, Le Corbusier, Sonia and Robert Delaunay, and Jacques-Henri Lartigue, who embraced the automobile as a provocative expression of the modern age.
