Four Small Pencil Drawn Airplanes The Living Arts The drawings are at turns

The drawings are at turns wonderfully simple and marvelously specific (those popcorn people

and especially that kind of messy trail of black smoke

I really could not resist this old student drawing on board of a very serious "Bert" to the rescue

and reminds me a bit of the cats of Laurel Burch

Four Small Pencil Drawn Airplanes The Living Arts The drawings are at turnsMore from a bunch of old drawings of planes, these, based on the planes themselves, I believe dating to the 1930s (the Lorraine Hanriot was a family of training monoplanes built in France in the early 1930s.) I especially love the lightning bolt like rendering of the propeller of the Kawasaki, and the varied orientation of all of them on the page. Largest (including two planes together at bottom right) measures 6 1 2" x 4 5 8". Smallest (Italian Fiat)
