Pair Of Gouache Paintings: Airplane, Aviation, Louis Petit, Sipa, Piper Club, Air Force, Aeronautics, Space
Artist: Louis Petit
Pairs of gouaches on paper by Louis PETIT
This is not his namesake, Louis PETIT (born in 1864 and died in 1936), who was a painter of classical landscapes, but rather Louis PETIT, officially appointed “painter of the air and space” in 1936.
This distinction was created in 1931 by the Ministry of the Air, shortly after the establishment of the Air Force.
Painters who had the honor of holding this distinction (the equivalent of “official painter of the navy”) wore a military uniform at official events and were authorized to accompany air force units in the field to find inspiration.
Each gouache is signed: one in the lower left corner for the SIPA and dated “54” for 1954, the other signed in the lower right corner for the PIPER CLUB.
They are presented in their original bleached stuccoed wood frames and protected by their original glass.
These gouaches are “in their original condition,” never having been opened.
The inside of the glass might need a little cleaning.
Dimensions with frame: 37 cm x 30 cm.
Viewable dimensions: 30.50 cm x 23.50 cm.
Shipping cost to France via Colissimo Registered Mail with insurance and excellent packaging: 25 €.
