Kenneth Noland, 1924-2010

Kenneth Clifton Noland was born on April 10, 1924, in Asheville, N.C. His father, a pathologist and Sunday painter, lent the boy his art materials after a visit to the National Gallery in Washington, where Kenneth, then 14, was awe-struck by the Monets.

He was drafted into the Army in 1942 and served in the Air Corps as a glider pilot and cryptographer. Toward the end of the war he was stationed in Egypt and Turkey.

After World War II he enrolled in Black Mountain College, an experimental school not far from his hometown. Albers’s quasi-scientific color theory dominated the painting curriculum, but Mr. Noland gravitated toward the less doctrinaire Bolotowsky and fell under the influence of Paul Klee, whose colorful surrealist fantasies loomed large in Mr. Noland’s first exhibition, at a Paris gallery in 1949. more...

Maybe it's just a coincidence but his paintings look sooo familiar to me CLICK :D

INTERACTIVE IMAGE

James Rosenquist: "F-111, in 1965, was the latest American fighter-bomber in the planning stage. Its mission seemed obsolete before it was finished. It seemed the prime force of this war machine was to economically keep people employed in Texas and Long Island.

At the time, I thought people involved in its making were heading for something, but I didn't know what, like bugs going towards a blinding light. By doing this they could achieve two-and-a-half children, three-and-a-half cars, and a house in the suburbs.

In the painting I incorporated orange spaghetti, cake, light bulbs, flowers, and many other things. It felt to me like a plane flying through the flak of an economy. The little girl was the pilot under a hair-dryer. The town and country industrial auto tire resembles a crown. The umbrella and the Italian flowered wallpaper roller image had to do with atomic fallout. The swimmer gulping air was like searching for air during an atomic holocaust." more...

Retro-futurism is a trend in the creative arts showing the influence of depictions of the future produced prior to about 1960. Characterized by a blend of old-fashioned "retro" styles with futuristic technology, retro-futurism explores the themes of tension between past and future, and between the alienating and empowering effects of technology. Primarily reflected in artistic creations and modified technologies that realize the imagined artifacts of its parallel reality, retro-futurism has also manifested in the worlds of fashion, architecture, design, music, literature, film, and video games. - Retro-futurism from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Norman Bel Geddes, 1893 - 1958

The American theatrical and industrial designer Norman Bel Geddes was the first person to seriously apply the concepts of aerodynamics and streamlining to industrial design.
In 1927, Bel Geddes left theatrical design, and began designing cars, ships, factories and railways. He rapidly created streamlined forms for objects ranging from gas-ranges to trains, in addition to a revolving restaurant and, in 1929, a 9-deck amphibian airliner that incorporated areas for deck-games, an orchestra, a fully equipped gymnasium and a solarium -- an airborne Titanic! - http://hotgates.stanford.edu/Bucky/dymaxion/belgeddes.htm


Job 328, Airliner No. 4, 1929-1934



In designing this tailless “V”-winged monoplane, Bel Geddes sought the expertise of Dr. O. A. Koller, an aeronautical engineer. The plane was to have had a wing span of 528 feet (23 feet shorter than the Washington Monument), carry 451 passengers and a crew of 155, and be supported on water by 60-foot high pontoons. It was projected to be able to make three transatlantic crossings a week and was fundamentally conceived of as a flying ocean liner. - http://norman.hrc.utexas.edu/NBGPublic/details.cfm?id=272

Dave McCoy, Jordan Weisman et al.

Crimson Skies (media franchise)

"Whenever I create different universes—MechWarrior, Shadowrun, Crimson Skies—to me, it's all about looking at 'What are the fantasies that excited us when we were 5?' And if we can find a new and more sophisticated way to tap into that fantasy […] Crimson Skies is just combining two classic male fantasies: You get to be a pirate; you get to be a pilot." - Jordan Weisman

Fiction House
Wings Comics, 1940-1954

First published in 1940, Wings Comics was the descendent of Fiction House’s old Wings magazine from the 1920s. Both the comic and the magazine were aimed at flight enthusiasts, with earlier issues, in particular, concentrating on aviation history and (relatively) basic aerobatic stunts such as wing-walking. As the war in Europe spread to America, the magazine moved from a pure aviation focus to publishing war-hero stories that were virtually indistinguishable from the Blackhawk and Captain Midnight tales that were popular at the time. Thankfully, the title later regained its stature by shifting the focus to true-life aviation heroes, aviation history, as well as model airplane building. Although never a huge sales success, it maintained a loyal fan base of flight enthusiasts which kept title going for almost fifteen years. - http://www.atomicavenue.com/atomic/titledetail.aspx?TitleID=19540
