The most idiosyncratic of marques. The most charismatic of the pioneer aeronauts. And the most prolifically inventive maker of things, all distinctively different in concept and execution. With the help of a constellation of eminent modern designers, automotive engineers, style gurus, architects, artists, car collectors, restorers and historians, this account reveals the nature of that difference. With an authoritative text by Voisin especialists, lavishly illustrated by many previously unpublished period photographs and spectacular portraits of nine emblematic models, it celebrates one remarkable man's contribution to the defining technologies of his century. Vive la differénce Voisin!
Created in partnership with the Mullin Automotive Museum, VOISIN: La Différence was authored by the world's leading Voisin experts and historians: Philipp Moch, Pierre Vanier, Reg Winstone and Philippe Ladure. The book chronicles the compelling stories of Gabriel Voisin and his ingenious creations in bi-lingual text (English and French), and features a wealth of previously unpublished modern and historic photography. The book showcases nine of Voisin's most iconic automotive designs, including the incomparable 1935 Avions-Voisin C25 Aérodyne, and celebrates Voisin's remarkable contribution to the defining technologies of his century. "Gabriel Voisin was truly man unlike any other of his time. He was an artist, an inventor, a designer whose curiosity and talents can only compare to likes of Leonard da Vinci," said Peter Mullin, Chairman and Co-Founder of the Mullin Automotive Museum. "We're proud to be a part of this magnificent effort to honor a man who made such a profound impact on the world, yet is rarely celebrated."
