Aviation Art

The invention of the airplane is most likely in the top ten of the most important innovations of the 20th century. Dreams of flight were no longer dependent upon fantasies of what it would be like to become a bird. Humans could now physically touch the clouds, but more important, they could travel long distances in a much shorter timeframe. Art throughout the ages has captured the history of the world, marking the changes and progress of cultures and lifestyles. Aviation art is a visual history book of the aircrafts that have been invented, following the Wright Brothers' first plane in 1903 up until the present.

Artworks of airplanes vary, covering anything from prop planes, gliders and commercial planes to military bombers and fighter jets. Some aviation art celebrates the planes' dance with a beautiful skyscape. An aircraft flowing through white puffy clouds, a plane racing with the red and violet sunset, or a duster soaring over wheat-colored crop fields are all images that would look great on any wall.

Another type of aviation art is the vintage style from the 1930s through the 1950s. This includes vintage travel posters from various airlines of the past as well as American propaganda art from World War I and II. These timeless pieces make great collectors items. You may want to consider airplane art to decorate a child's room with. If your son loves airplanes, hanging a few prints from various artists on the walls of his room can be an excellent choice.
