Lest you begin to suspect that engaging in art is all work, work, work….this post comes courtesy of our summer “stay-cation”. Of course we’ve partaken of the mandatory summer blockbuster movie, motorcycle riding (see my Facebook page for pics at https://www.facebook.com/alice.shepherd.79), done a bit of shopping, dining out and sleeping in, and piling up to watch recorded movies at the house while munching taboo snacks. We also highly recommend Bruce Munro’s extensive light exhibit at Cheekwood (no pics but you’ll find plenty online). And now, without further ado, selected photos (yes, this is one exhibit where photography is allowed) from our docent guided tour of Art Deco cars and motorcycles. Happy summer, everyone!
My husband/best friend/he who I cannot live without.
The Frist was once the main post office in Nashville. The architecture alone is worth multiple visits.
Truly a work of art: built by Henry Ford’s son and never put into production.
Here we are with one of the most luxurious cars in the collection; it was a wedding gift from the Shah to his beautiful bride who coincidentally passed only the week prior at age 91.
A fine example of streamlining.
So many cars, so little time…
An Indian; one of only two cycles in the show.
The second “bike”; truly remarkable.
My cool husband with the remarkable bike.
