The museum describes this particular painted car hood like this: It’s also worth noting that to paint this, Chicago actually studied car painting techniques at an auto body school in LA, which was a pretty male-dominated environment, giving some context to what she said about the work. And, you know, she learned how to really paint cars, like that other famous American painter, Earl Sheib. Chicago did a few of these painted car hoods, but this one in Stockholm is an interesting one to try to guess because it’s one of those hoods that’s harder to place out of context. Think you know what it is? Take a guess! The answer is here. Now you’ve had some culture, first thing in the morning! How’s that feel? Good, right? You’re welcome. https://www.mutualart.com/Artwork/Car-Hood/97E353A01D453DB1
