Love and Six Cylinders - A Wholesome Drive through American Stereotypes
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color lithograph, titled "Love and Six Cylinders" artist Clarence F. Underwood takes us on a journey into the world of privilege, love, and upper-class America in the early 20th century. The image depicts an idealized scene where a handsome couple is enjoying a romantic drive in their luxurious car. Underwood's artwork beautifully captures the essence of speed and attraction as the wind tousles their hair while they cruise along in their fast-moving automobile. The portrayal of wealth is evident through the opulence of both the vehicle itself and its occupants, representing old money and prosperity. This print also sheds light on societal stereotypes prevalent during that era. It showcases an affluent WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) couple, symbolizing traditional ideals of beauty, success, and social class. However, despite these stereotypes, there is an undeniable sense of charm emanating from this picture-perfect relationship. The image not only celebrates the joyous experience of motoring but also serves as a reminder of how cars became symbols of freedom for Americans at that time. It encapsulates North America's fascination with automobiles as means of transport that revolutionized society. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork by Underwood from our private collection, it invites us to reflect on love's timeless allure amidst changing times – reminding us that even within societal constructs or class systems, true affection transcends boundaries.
