Helck is best known for his paintings of the pioneers of auto racing.
But his career encompassed a lot of other categories, including historical reconstructions, story illustrations, industrial interiors, WWII battle scenes, and gallery landscapes.
Helck was one of the instructors from the Famous Artists School, and no one could match his ability to paint cars and trucks.
Many of his exemplary preliminary drawings are included in the 112 page article. (The pictures in this post are typical of what's in the article, but not necessarily the same images.)
Peter Helck, This is My Birthright
The article starts with 18 pages of illustrated biography, followed by 90 pages of pictures, mostly reproduced from original art or vintage tearsheets.
