COBRA
Rayner Banham bought some artworks and was moved to write a piece for the ‘New Society’.
“An A C Cobra hand painted with the brush not the usual spray gun, and in candy colours, not Kandy Colors - by Binder Edwards & Vaughan represents a real and original contribution to the art of vehicle painting. The word ‘art’ is to be emphasised; this is not an extension of existing styles, it is the application of sophisticated techniques to a large area which happens to be shaped like an A C Cobra and not a canvas. That’s what makes it so uninhibitedly good to see.”
“A car by Binder Edwards & Vaughan an assisted ready-made is a neo-Dada contribution to polychrome sculpture.”
Robert Melville, ‘New Statesman’
