Hot Rod The Photography Of Peter Vincent

Peter Vincent's history with cars started when he was in the 5th grade. He had just moved to Palo Alto, California from Chicago, and discovered hot rods and customs, rock and roll, and Jayne Mansfield in a movie called "The Girl Can't Help It." Popular culture has remained an influence to this day, along with formalistic "West Coast straight" photography. Studies and/or associations with Ansel Adams, Duane Michals, Brett Weston, and Peter deLory have further informed his artistic sense. Peter Vincent's photography has been featured in dozens of galleries, highlighted by the "Real Hot Rods by Vern Tardel" exhibit at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art's Artists Gallery in 2002. Vincent's photography has been published in Rodder's Journal, Hop Up, American Rodder, Street Rodder, and Rod and Custom. He also is the author of Hot Rod: An American Original, published by Motorbooks International in 2001. Vincent lives in Moscow, Idaho.Vincent, Peter is the author of 'Hot Rod The Photography Of Peter Vincent', published 2004 under ISBN 9780760315767 and ISBN 0760315760.
