The Drive-In Lives, in Reality as in Art

Filed in archive Automotive Art by Philip Powell on June 20, 2006

Double Feature

Much to my astonishment, I recently discovered that the drive-in theater still exists in a number of US and Canadian locations. For those of us old enough to remember, drive-ins were once a significant part of our culture: a way of taking the family to the movies without annoying the other patrons; a place where "necking" was tolerated because no one could see you; or simply a magical moment in which the big sky country of a western film was set against a really big sky. Artist Helen Flintlinks's dynamic painting of 1960's cars at the entry of a Neon-glorified drive-in can best be explained in her own words. "I love old movies and I wanted to approach the theater subject with a cinematic flair." The lady's automotive renderings are superb but I also fell in love with her paintings of Lake Superior and its lighthouses. You can purchase a Helen Flint print by e-mailing sales@helenflint.com.
