The complete directory of Aviation art
prints and paintings by Aviation artist Ivan Berryman
Art
and aviation have been like a brother and sister to me. We have grown up
together, learned together and made our adult lives together. But you do not
have to have an appreciation of aircraft to admire the graceful lines of a
Spitfire or the functional simplicity of a Focke-Wulf 190. They are themselves
a work of art and they cry out to be painted - not as machines of war and
destruction, but as objects of beauty, born of necessity and function, yet
given a life and iconic classicism beyond their original calling. My interest
and love of art and aircraft was gifted to me by my father, a designer and
aeronautical engineer of considerable repute. Denis Berryman C.Eng. FRAeS. He
gave me his eyes, his passion, his dedication and his unwavering
professionalism. I owe him everything. And I miss him terribly. A love of art
and of beautiful and interesting things takes you on a journey. You discover
new interests, new fascinations, and you want to paint them. You want to paint
them in their environment, in their element. Whether it is an aeroplane, a
warship, a racing car or a beautiful woman, their gift to an artist is the
same: Their lines, their texture and the way that light and shadows give them
form. These are the food and oxygen of an artist. Not the paint and the
canvas. These are mere tools. The secret is in the passion and the perception
The LFG Roland D.VI did not enjoy the success of its contemporaries, the Fokker D.VII and Pfalz D.XII, but was nonetheless a potent and capable fighter. Its unique Klinkerrumpf fuselage construction made it both lightweight and robust although, des......
