A major showing of new aerospace art, the American Society of Aviation Artists 2008 International Aerospace Art Exhibit, opens at The Museum of Flight. Running through Sept.14, this juried show features over 50 paintings and sculptures by artists from around the world.
Aerospace art upholds a rich tradition of narrative painting, displaying technical mastery of the medium and historical accuracy in aviation and space related subject matter. Many aerospace artists also take the genre into new directions with work that is fanciful and abstract.
Renowned Seattle-based classical artist Juliette Aristides selected the artworks for the exhibition. “The paintings exhibited by the group are noteworthy for their innovative compositions and their high standards for excellence,” said Aristides. “They are not only technically and historically accurate but also imaginative. Thanks to them I have seen planes in a whole new light.” -- www.museumofflight.org
