The Art of TC Motoring
Back in the day, we took the attractive
covers of TCMG Quarterlies by Clarence Weiss for granted. Just
something to spice up an otherwise ordinary club newsletter.
Big mistake! Just looking at the few examples on these pages
shows us that they represent much more than snapshots of monthly
club tours through typical California landscapes. They now rise
to the level of significant automotive art that epitomizes the
spirit of sports motoring, especially in the classic, MG TC.
For those of you who don't already know, Clarence, after retiring
from a life-long career as a graphic designer, has established
himself as a fine artist specializing in plein air painting along
the Central Calfiornia coast. His work can often be seen in galleries
in and around Morro Bay, CA and he sometimes exhibits out of
his home studio in Cambria.
These drawings are part of an incomplete,
fourteen piece collection recovered from the files of compulsive
savers, David Edgar and Jim Crandall. If anyone can help fill
in the missing issues, please contact Jim at crandallonline@yahoo.com. Clarence's current work can be seen at: www.clarenceweiss.com.
