The artist Gil Cohen will be at Gabrielle's Gallery to introduce and sign copies of the newly released book about his life and work, a celebration of one of America's top aviation artists.
Many of Cohen's works can be found at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC, and the Pentagon, as well as in other important public and private collections. After spending decades as a respected illustrator for magazines and book publishers, Cohen chose to turn his attention to aviation and military themes.
His more recent paintings vividly depict the human aspects of America's wars, showing soldiers and aviators in battle and at rest. One of Cohen's recurring observations is that, unfortunately, some of humankind's most remarkable feats of engineering are often created for the purpose of war.
Cohen's paintings are collected worldwide, and his clients include the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Coast Guard, Paramount Pictures; Random House; Holt, Rinehart & Winston; Bantam Books; Harlequin Books; and Boeing-Sikorsky.
