The Aviation Art Of Robert Taylor Hard Back

The Aviation Art Of
Robert Taylor 

I picked this up in Oxfam Henley and at the time i had a glance through but over the week I've had the chance to look at it in more depth.

Not only does it feature the stunning art works of Robert Taylor but it gives you some of his biography as well and its a good read and inspiring for any up coming artist.

It tells you how Robert got the break to work in a picture restores after studying art as a child. He progressed through a family business learning all he could and in his spear time developed his passion for aviation art, until he got to the stage where he could turn to it professionally.

Theres an interesting side story of Douglas Barder picking up a biro and explaining how the spacing should look an an immaculate early proof, Robert took it with good grace of course and there are lots of little anecdotes with in the book that make in interesting to read as well as admiring the art work with in.
