EDITORS COMMENTS
Planes (1940) is a captivating wax drawing by the renowned British artist Henry Moore. This vertical, upright composition, part of Moore's historic series of drawings, showcases an array of planes filling the sky, their forms rendered in rich, vibrant colors. The drawing, a testament to Moore's mastery of the medium, invites viewers to explore the intricacies of these aeronautical marvels. The planes depicted in Planes (1940) evoke the era of militarism and army aviation during the 1940s, a time marked by the escalating tensions and eventual outbreak of the Second World War. The drawing's title, Planes (1940), underscores the historical significance of this period, as the world was on the brink of a major conflict that would reshape Europe and the world at large. Moore's Planes (1940) is a visual representation of the technological advancements in aviation during the early 20th century. The planes, both single-engine and multi-engine, are depicted with intricate detail, their wings, fuselages, and propellers rendered with precision and depth. The drawing's composition, with the planes arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet harmonious arrangement, emphasizes the awe-inspiring power and presence of these machines. Planes (1940) is a poignant reminder of the past, a time when the skies were filled with the sounds and sights of aircrafts, symbolizing the intersection of art, history, and technology. This private collection piece, created by the legendary Henry Moore, continues to captivate and inspire, inviting viewers to reflect on the past and the role of art in documenting and interpreting history.
