RONY LUTZ. THUNDERBOLT 1937-38. Original.

Mixed media, primarily watercolour / gouache
Image dimensions: 36.8 x 34 cm

Original work by Saab's legendary illustrator Rony Lutz. Although Rony modestly calls himself an illustrator, it is a true artist we encounter here. Each original work is the result of immense patience, where a single original could take 2–3 months of intensive work to complete. With masterful precision, he captures the reflections of the paint, the depth of the chrome, and the dynamic speed of the cars in flight. Now, at 87 years of age, Rony has finally chosen to let his life's work live on with new owners.
