PALLAS ( CITROEN DS )
In 1955, Citroën abandoned front-wheel drive, launched in 1933, and created a revolutionary car, the DS with hydropneumatic suspension, followed by the ID, a more popular model, and the Pallas, a luxury version.
The photographic work of Cesare di Liborio immortalised the beauty of the shapes of the homonymous automobile. The car embodies an incredible modernity, elegance of line and perfection of comfort beyond compare. All those who drove it, before its final and always premature abandonment, agree on this.
He had the idea of separating the elements and placing them in places where they can still fully exercise their power of seduction. Because Pallas evokes feelings of beauty and subtle eroticism, extremely intriguing, sometimes functional sometimes ‘voluptuous’, and maintains its identity through the years that should have made it obsolete.
Cesare Di Liborio does not forget man in his meticulous and superb inventory of Pallas. He reminds us that at the origin there is the creative work of a designer in the bodywork and the technical-engineering work in the mechanical parts.
This is how his work becomes a tribute to configuration and conformation, the example par excellence of industrial beauty, the car that was rightly named Pallas.
