NEW YORK CITY, NY
Eric Sloane (1905-1985) was an American artist who captured the sky, clouds, and airplanes with oil paint on the canvas in a mystical and profound way. He is my favorite artist, and I regard his work as the most prolific and beautiful aviation art. Many of his works have a small airplane somewhere within the piece, forcing the eyes of the viewer of his art to search for the small image of the aircraft. Therein lies the magic of his aviation art. The skies hold that beauty in art that he has captured. An icon of aviation art, his huge 70-foot mural hangs in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. His painting "Coming Home" shows that very beauty. Can you find the airplane?
