Aviation Art

Description: Aviation art occupies a unique creative niche. It can convey the power, the movement and the chaos of aerial combat, or the terror of an aerial strike. Artists can create visual panoramas that invoke the thundering noise of a bomber formation, the raw smell of fuel, the tranquility and isolation at 35,000 feet, the gracefulness of a glider, or the tension of a briefing room.Such art has an evocative appeal that lies in the capture of emotions and experiences that will be unfamiliar to many. The consummate skill of delineating these moments is convincingly demonstrated by the selection of works in this book. 'Aviation Art' is a thoughtfully compiled gallery, displaying over 150 emotive images by artists both internationally famous as well as works by those relatively unknown and rarely viewed. In addition, a coherent and intelligent discussion of these pictures provides relevant historical information, biographic details of the artists and a fascinating narrative to compliment each work
