In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight March 19, 2011

'In Plane View: Abstractions of Flight,' an exhibition comprised of 56 large-format photographs by Carolyn Russo, National Air and Space Museum (NASM) photographer, offers a fascinating look at some unique traits of 49 air and spacecraft in the collection of the National Air and Space Museum. The photographs draw the viewer's attention to details and hidden elements that can be missed--even in plain sight--but which hold expressive and aesthetic qualities. Russo's photographs blur the lines between art and technology, focusing on the simple beauty of aircraft design and craftsmanship.
