I offer this original photograph as wall art in a choice of print sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere was no need to photograph the entire Oldsmobile. The front corner of this 1956 Super 88 Coupe already held what interested me: a round headlight, a broad chrome grille, and smooth bodywork curving between them. I kept the photograph close and chose black and white so those details could become a composition of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe headlight sits high on the right, surrounded by a polished ring and a rounded pocket in the body. Its glass carries a fine pattern that contrasts with the much smoother paint. To the left, the grille’s horizontal bars sweep diagonally through the frame, bringing the Oldsmobile lettering into the view without making it the only subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChrome connects the two areas. It bends around the lamp housing and follows the front end in broad reflective curves, with dark reflections outlining the brighter metal. I like how those lines remain fluid even within a tightly cropped image. The grille supplies repetition, while the headlight provides a single clear circle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI made the photograph in 2013, drawn to the confidence of this older automotive design. The car’s front end uses shape and bright metal generously, and the close view allows those choices to be seen without the distraction of a complete vehicle or show setting. For someone who enjoys classic Oldsmobiles, it offers both a recognizable badge and the design around it. I return to the curves first, then to the finer texture in the glass and grille. The photograph is a study of one expressive corner, where familiar features become something worth looking at slowly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2013\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571210096719,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592170111055,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40291947446351,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67592728510543,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40288364625999,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593569468495,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40288364593231,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594377494607,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40606789304399,"sku":"","price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595334189135,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40606812831823,"sku":"","price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600434692175,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185658863695,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67596003016783,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185727578191,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805453942863,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804748972111,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804819816527,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747562061903,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/1956-Oldsmobile-Super-88-Headlight-and-Grille-Monochrome-Photography-1b.jpg?v=1791376683","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/vintage-1956-oldsmobile-super-88-coupe-art-print","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
