Fine artist Norman Wilkinson created camoflaged ships in world war one, Based in part on the artistic fashions of the time, particularly Cubism. The result was “Dazzle Painting” the yanks called it “Razzle Dazzle.” The idea was that it broke up the lines of a ship so you couldn’t tell which was the front or the stern. I think all cars should be painted like this.
