Aviation Artistry EACH ARTIST VIEWS A BLANK CANVAS differently. It's why Andy Warhol painted soup cans and Gustav Klimt used so much gold; why Phillip Johnson's house was made of glass and Frank Lloyd Wright's were made of wood and steel; and why the aircraft designs of Joe Sutter (Boeing 747), Howard Hughes, the Wright brothers, and Burt Rutan continue to command attention. Give artists the it can't be done directive, and watch out. One wouldn't initially put two California sign designers in such an illustrious list of artisans. But when Donovan Fell and Dave Hall resurrected some old aluminum propellers, polished them, and made them statement art, collectors took notice. And when the pair took massive wing spars and engine parts and made them into furniture, those who appreciate the creative eye paid attention-and paid high prices to own a piece of MotoArt. www.aopa.org/pilot AOPA PILOT | 59http://www.aopa.org/pilot
