April 3, 2013 – New York, NY – American photographer Jeffrey Milstein’s spectacular exhibition AirCraft: The Jet as Art featuring pristine images of aircraft shot from below moments before landing will be on view at the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport from May 1, 2013 through December 8, 2013. The show, which is comprised of 17 large-scale photographs, will delight and captivate travelers and visitors passing through The Gallery Walk, located along the pedestrian walkway in the Historic Terminal. Milstein’s exhibition is part of the airport’s Arts program that celebrates creativity and the visual arts in the National Capitol Region. The exhibition at the airport marks the second venue in Washington, D.C. for the work. It was previously on view at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C. for one year from November 2012 through November 2013. The accompanying book, entitled AirCraft: The Jet as Art, which was published by Abrams in 2011, is now in its second printing.
The Jet as Art
Milstein’s meticulously composed large format photographs of aircraft evoke a visceral thrill and sense of wonderment in the viewer. They present the power and elegance of aircraft in flight and transform aviation and technology into fine art. With this series, Milstein has expanded the boundaries of photography beyond what we can see in the real world by capturing a degree of detail never achieved before. Milstein works with the highest resolution digital camera available to create his large-scale prints that allow the viewer to linger over each photograph and marvel at the complexity and beauty of form present in the machines’ engineering and design.
