I have heard many designers give talks on design, but none have been so inspiring and thought provoking as Chris Bangle. Flame surfacing opinions aside he is a great designer with a philosophy many would love to follow. I take advantage of hearing anything he has to say and always come away with something. Here is a video of Bangle talking about cars as art/ sculpture. Although he doesn’t actually point out any specific car as art, he does make a lot of relationships with famous artist and art forms.

Although todays cars are not crazy pieces of sculpture in any way, after watching this you will appreciate any car; yes, any car even the Prius as a work of art. It is a long video (20 minutes) so watch it in parts or take a break when that 3 in the afternoon nap starts to take effect.
