“Cartis” takes its name from the Latin word for art, artis. The cars of the Cartis collection have all been designed by manufacturers and designers renowned for their skill and technical expertise. The emotions that they arouse result as much from their stunning aesthetics as from their intended function, that is, movement.
The vintage car, through its multifaceted identity, extrapolates emotions and speaks to every one of our senses. This vision of automobile-turned-modern art, as advocated by Cartis, was first brought to the fore in the early 20th century by famous French photographer, Jacques Henri Lartigue. It was later taken up by the American pop artists, Andy Warhol and Alexander Calder, who were the originators of the “Art Car” movement.
A passion for automotive art, the promotion of the French art of living and French craftsmanship, and a constant quest for excellence all come together to form the DNA of the Cartis Classic Car Experience.
