Arthur Rosenman Ross (1913 - 1981) “Concept Buick and Plane" Gouache and airbrush on Illustration Board 16” x 27 inches (sight) Signed Arthur Rosenman, ‘38 lower right Provenance: Estate of the artist. BIO Arthur Rosenman Ross was a key figure in automotive design at General Motors during America's "Golden Age" of auto design, the 1930's through the 1950s. He attended the Art Institute of Chicago from age 17, exhibiting a special interest for automotive renderings and the female figure.

They talked about art, cars and girls late into the evening, according to his son, Carter Ross. He had a gift in rendering the erotic arts...
