Phil Patton Memorial Lecture: Russel Flinchum, "Women and Cars"

In this lecture in honor of late SVA faculty member Phil Patton, an internationally-recognized design critic whose fascination with cars formed a substantial part of his written output, Flinchum will trace the history of the stylistic development of the automobile and the role of female designers in converting the horseless carriage into the object de luxe of the 1920s. His investigation will focus on the concours d’elegance, often featuring couture clothing next to bespoke automobiles, and the popularization of “good taste” in the post-war period dominated by the “GM System” under Harley Earl. Earl, the first top executive for design at any major corporation, was the creator in the 1950s of the “Damsels of Design,” who usually constitute the starting point of discussion on how women contributed to the creation of the modern automobile.
