This is not visual futurist Syd Mead's most visually striking, ambitious or creative piece but for me it creates a whole retro-future world in one image. A world where you come home from work, in your sleek Sentinel car, to be greeted by a Symphony Angel lookalike dressed in a yellow, belly-baring trouser suit, matching gloves and boots and sitting on a yoga mat. It is an exercise in perspective, more than anything else, but the sleek. modular (the picture was done for a planned book for US Steel), modernistic house, built around the rocks and the trees. speak of a clean, glittering alternative future. I love this picture! Produced in 1970.
