| Description: |
Come join your AFCEA friends for appetizers,
drinks, and a private tour of the newest exhibit
in Dayton! The Dayton Art Institute presents
¿Ralston Crawford: Air + Space + War¿ is stated by
The Wall Street Journal to ¿be a splendid,
informative exhibition.¿ American art transformed
in the period 1940-55, and nowhere is that change
better exemplified than in the work of Ralston
Crawford (1906-1978). Crawford was influenced by
aviation through personal experiences in flight,
his exposure to the construction of airplanes and
the destruction they wrought in WWII, and the
atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll. These
experiences had a profound impact on Crawford and
marked a major turning point in his life and art.
Ralston Crawford: Air + Space + War features 72
works, which include paintings, drawings, and
photographs by the American artist. This
exhibition is organized by the Vilcek Foundation,
in collaboration with the Brandywine River Museum
of Art and the Dayton Art Institute, which will
be the only two venues to present this exhibition.
**Please note that masks are required in the
Dayton Art Institute galleries but are not
required in our networking space. |
