Description
Classic Car Chrome Abstract Chevy Corvette. A close horizontally composed abstract of the grill and bumper of a late 1950’s Chevrolet Corvette. The shot shows many curves in red and chrome, the mirror-like surface of the chromed metal reflecting not only the red paint of the car but the many other colors of the surroundings, providing touches of blue and green to contrast with the red. At the right of the frame is one of the grill intakes, fashioned to resemble the intake of a jet aircraft. Abstract photography seeks to portray a subject not literally, but more viscerally, communicating through form (shapes, patterns, lines, curves), color, texture, and the play of light and shadow. Often, just a small portion of the whole subject is shown, in order for part to speak for the whole, to communicate deeper meaning or aesthetic appeal through the details seen which would be missed if the whole were visible. I particularly enjoy photographing abstracts of classic vehicles– classic cars, classic airplanes, even classic boats– finding a lot of beauty in the curves, colors, and lines of these relics of bygone eras. Photographed at a car show in Gresham, Oregon. See also my many other abstract photographs, especially of classic cars and classic aircraft.
