World War II Aviation Art by Robert Taylor
In 2003, Michael and Maureen Harrigan of Rochester, New York, donated a collection of 42 art prints to the National Air and Space Museum. The work on renowned aviation artist Robert Taylor, the collection portrays aspects of World War II combat aviation in every theater of war. Each print is signed by the airmen who were involved in the events portrayed or who fought in the same theater.
Born in Bath, England, in 1946, and a graduate of the Bath School of Art, Taylor is widely regarded as Britain's foremost aviation artist. "As a fighter pilot who flew the types of aircraft that Robert Taylor paints so brilliantly," Air Vice Marshall JE "Johnnie" Johnson once remarked. "I marvel at his ability. He paints more than just aircraft; he paints with spectacular reality the whole vista of the sky that is the world of the fighter pilot. He ranks with the best."
Over time, this exhibition will display other prints from the Harrington Collection. |
