작품 상세

Artist: ANTO- CARTE (Antoine Carte, 1886-1954) Size: 28 1/2 x 45 7/8 in./72.4 x 116.6 cm Mercury, the Roman god of speed and communication, lifts his caduceus to hail a Farman-Goliath inspired biplane. This variant does not include the lettering intended for the event, "Grande Meeting International Bruxelles (Evere) 23-24-25 Juin 1922." It was intended to announce a war memorial and inauguration of a military airfield. The composition is very much in keeping with Anto-Carte's signature style, a resurgence of decorative Neo-Classicism and representational nudes. (Aviation)
