Punchy hot reds and pinks convey a sense of intense motion and engine heat. The art is as much a color-field painting as a narrative work. It was a commissioned illustration for Sports Illustrated Magazine via Peak's famous rep Harvey Kahn. Bob Peak shows a close-up portrait of the helmeted drive and a wide side view of the car. The wide image of the car is precisely rendered on paper and glued to the canvas. This demonstrates Peak's creativity but doing the car in ink gave the artist more exactitude to the mechanics of the car technically correct. Signed lower right. The color on Artsy is somewhat dulled and desaturated. In person, it is much more intense., The frame is a period frame and its joints are a bit loose. The plexiglass has a few scuffs.
