작품 상세

ARTIST: ANTO- CARTE (Antoine Carte, 1886-1954) SIZE: 28 3/8 x 46 in./72.2 x 116.8 cm DESCRIPTION: 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; Art Deco)
