Rat Fink:The Art of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth
Author: Douglas Nason
Ed Roth's colorful persona, outrageous designs and irreverence was heralded by the underground and at the same time shunned by polite society. Dubbed the "Blue Collar Warhol," he left behind a legacy of creative lunacy and turned American car designers, the Art World and the youth of America upside down.
Born in Los Angeles and raised in the epicenter of the California hot rod explosion, he created automotive forms purely from his own imagination to transform car design, reinvent the American hot rod culture and put Detroit on notice. Big Daddy fathered the movement known as Lowbrow Art. His art inspired generations of cartoonists, tattoo artists and shirt painters. His vehicles transcended function and form to turn the American automobile into rolling sculpture.
