About the piece
Created in 1917 by C. R. W. Nevinson, this lithograph is a masterpiece of the machine-age aesthetic. Part of the 'Britain's Efforts and Ideals' series, it uses the sharp, rhythmic lines of early Modernism to convey the speed and mechanical power of a banking aircraft. The composition brilliantly positions the viewer within the cockpit, offering a dizzying and transformative view of the landscape far below.
