About
Military Aviation artist John Shaw features America’s heroes of the Air in WWII through his dramatic paintings. Since the early 90s, Shaw has worked firsthand with many living veterans, seeking their input for the compositions of his work, with the goal of depicting their experiences with historical accuracy and keeping their legacies alive. An internationally recognized aviation artist, some of Shaw’s original oil paintings are in the collection of past presidents, the Pentagon, military museums, and private collectors, and prints of many of these scenes have become some of the most sought-after limited editions of their types. This exhibit features custom-embellished canvas reproductions of many of Shaw’s World War II scenes, arranged chronologically from 1941 through the war’s end in 1945.
