Emilio Saluzzi is regarded as one of the most innovative living automobile artists. His dramatic works are reminiscent of the Italian Futurist movement, led by Giacomo Balla (1871-1958) almost a century ago, which paved the way for a generation of Art Deco illustrators. His geometric angular style, coupled with skilful use of airbrush and ‘splatter’, endow his poster artworks with a memorable flourish.
