Distinctive

A giant painted portrait of a blue-skinned woman with a towering 1970s beehive of black-and-white hair and vivid red lips filling the entire right third of the glass. Beneath her, a white rocket-shaped car with a number 1 on its flank races across an orange desert while black 1930s-style open sports cars flee over the dunes. The two-tone blue-and-white block-letter title slanted across a stormy night sky. Two artist signatures, one in white script and one in green, flank the score panel.

Full description

A tall, portrait-format painted backglass showing a desert car chase. The upper third is a dark grey-black night sky with the title set diagonally across it in chunky angular block capitals, the first letters painted blue with a yellow and orange drop-shadow face and the later letters white with pink and grey shading. The middle of the glass is a blazing yellow-orange desert plain of sand ridges, over which three vehicles race away from the viewer: a large white and grey bullet-shaped rocket car in the lower left foreground trailing a long red-orange flame, a small black open-top vintage sports car with a white spare wheel and the number 21 on its flank in the middle distance, and a second small black car further right also marked 21. A palm tree with a black trunk and blue-green fronds rises on the left edge, cut off by the frame. The entire right third is occupied by a single enormous close-up head of a woman with blue-grey skin, dramatic black and white bouffant hair, heavy blue eyeshadow, long lashes, a gold hoop earring and bright red lips, looking out at the viewer; her bare shoulder and a black studded leather strap with silver rings cross the lower right corner. A plain white rectangular score panel sits at the bottom centre, flanked by two round perforated speaker grilles, with yellow-and-purple hazard striping along the bottom corners.
