"Cain would start with a magazine ad, cut it up, and collage it back together, removing sections of an automobile and refashioning the remains into a fantastical, if all but functionless, new model. For all the distortions he wrought on them, Cain’s cars rarely seem as though they have been violently severed from a larger whole. Nor do they ever look dented, bruised, or demolished, in the manner of a John Chamberlain sculpture. Cain’s recombinant machines appear instead as gleaming objects complete in themselves, newfangled automotive mutants or hybrids beckoning our visual attention." Richard Meyer, "The Last of Peter Cain" in Beau Rutland et. al., Peter Cain, New York 2017, p. 129
