Historical artist research

For this session, I was in the library looking for related artists to research.

I looked at 'Icons of design the 20th century'

Ettore Arco Isidoro Bugatti

15^th September 1881 – 21^st August 1947

Ettore Bugatti began his career by designing engines and vehicles for other companies. He designed a Type 1 in 1898 which was produced by Prinetti & Stucchi.

In 1901, Bugatti had designed the Type 2, which won an award at the Milan Automobile Exhibition. This gained interest of Dietrich and from 1902 through to 1904, they produced the Type 3, 4, 5, 6 and Type 7 under the Dietrich-Bugatti name.

He was later employed by Deutz Gasmotoren Fabrik, where he designed the Type 8 and Type 9. Bugatti later designed the Type 10 and built it in the basement of his house. In 1913, Bugatti designed for Peugeot, the Type 19.

Giorgetto Giugiaro

Giorgetto Giugiaro was born 7^th August 1938. He is an Italian automobile designer. He has worked on supercars and popular everyday vehicles.

Giugiaro was named Car Designer of the Century 1999 and inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame in 2002.

In addition to cars, Giugiaro has designed camera bodies for Nikon, computer prototypes for Apple and even developed a new pasta shape "Marille", as well as office furniture for Okamura Corporation.

He was well-known initially for such luxurious efforts as the Ferrari 250 Berlinetta Bertone, De Tomaso Mangusta, Iso Grifo and Maserati Ghibli. Giugiaro switched courses to introduce the highly angular "folded paper" era of the 1970s. Straight lined designs such as the BMW M1, Maserati Bora, and Maserati Merak followed before a softer approach returned in the Lamborghini Cala, Maserati Spyder, and Ferrari GG50.

Some of Giugiaros most notable designs are:

Alfa Romeo Brera (2002)

BMW M1 (1977)

Bugatti EB 118 (1998) & EB 218 (1999)

DeLorean DMC-12

Ford Mustang concept (1966)

Giugiaro Ford Mustang (2006)

Lancia Delta (1979) Which he won the 1980 car of the year

Lotus Esprit (1972)

Maserati Ghibli (1966)
