Picasso's Citroen 2cv - An Art Car Inspired by Picasso's Portrait of Dora Maar and Created by Andy Saunders

When I think of art cars, I envision a creative project with no re-sale value. A drive it 'til it drops personal statement.

Andy Saunders looked at one of Picasso's cubist portraits of Dora Maar and saw a cubist Citroen 2cv. His creative endeavor is more likely to sit on an art collector's pedestal, than rust along the curb in a tow zone.

Picasso's 1938 portrait of Dora Mar sold at auction in 2008 for $14.6 million.

(Not to be confused with the modern Citroen Picasso of which Saunders says, "I named it Picasso's Citroen and I think it is much better than the Citroen Picasso, which is a boring people carrier. I think I know which one Pablo would have preferred.")

My post about the beautiful people of the Surma and Mursi tribes in the L'Omo Valley on the borders of  Ethiopia, Kenya, and Sudan, who were photographed by Hans Silvester, is by far the favorite of StoryCulture's readers. I am happy to spread the news that Silvester's new book Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration From Africa (which features these photographs) is available at amazon.com: click here for more information.

Just in case you missed it, you can view my initial story about the photographs here.
