- ABOUT THE ARTIST -
Van Kaufman - Van Justin Kaufman (1918-1995) - a former Disney animator who, after World War II, along with his partner Art Fitzpatrick began creating advertising images for Mercury automobiles. Although they did automobile advertising art for several American car makers in the 1940s and 50s, their fame is largely due to their work for Pontiac in the 1960s and 70s. Fitzpatrick rendered the cars and Kaufman provided the backgrounds. The pair cranked out advertising images for 14 automakers during their run, creating some of the most iconic ads of the era. But it was the Pontiac ads -- 285 in all -- for which they are best remembered. Fitz and Van worked like this: Fitzpatrick drew the cars, often making them seem a little wider and a little lower than they already were, while Kaufman drew the scenery and people. Muscle cars, such as the GTO, were placed in exotic locales, giving them an upscale image. The work was so impressive that Pontiac’s general manager at the time, John DeLorean, banned the use of pictures and decreed that only Fitz and Van drawings could be used in Pontiac ads. ('VK' was the signature he used) and Fitzpatrick ('AF')
