George Ham (Born 1900) was born in Laval, Mayenne, France. His paintings are noted for their painstaking reality and technical accuracy. He’s regarded as one of the finest automotive artists in the world. A part time racing driver and an automotive enthusiast, He duplicated the precise position of every component of the automobile, and he usually over-emphasized the details to simulate movement. He died in 1972 and is remembered for his illustrations of automobiles or aeroplanes which appeared in L'Illustration. Early in his career, Ham was commissioned by Benjamin to illustrate his catalogue. This project was very successful and it made him to get instant popularity because Benjamin was a renowned cycle-car manufacturer in France. Along with gouache and watercolor paintings, he sketched many caricatures that depicted the personality of the drivers and their automobiles. His art has been published widely in some of the leading magazines, and are availed mainly as framed George Ham art – though other finishing options are also available. Many of his original paintings are displayed in the offices of the Automobile Club de l’Ouest. He left behind a legacy of paintings and posters that will immortalize him forever, though he had no descendants to carry on the family name. From the 1930’s through to the 1950’s, his art was spread out in the posters which he created for the Grand Prix of Monaco. From 1927 his work was featured in L’illustration, the leading pictorial magazine in France. This happened until 1940. The artist also recounted the history of Le Mans in a series of watercolors for a limited-edition book by Roger Labric.
