A Tribute to James Dean, born 08 February 1931, died 30 September 1955

James Dean, best remembered clad in jeans and tee-shirt, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, oscillates from ticklish softie to introspective tough guy throughout his three films.

An icon of freedom, power, and mastery, the car lights up a character, such as the rebellious teenage outsider played by James Dean in the gasoline-soaked "Rebel Without a Cause". Released a month after his fatal crash in a competition Porsche, this Oscar-winning performance captured the moral decay of American youth, critiqued ineffective parenting, and foreshadowed the growing differences between generations, a trend that continues to today.

This collection is a re-interpretation of outsider themes from film focusing on Rebel, but including others such as J.G Ballard's "Crash!," Guillermo Cain's "Vanishing Point," and Stephen King's "Christine."  As in the Eagles song, "too fast to live, too young to die, bye-bye".
