Art is certainly a subjective medium–I have seen recent online debate as to whether LOLcats qualifies as art–but I think it is safe to say that vintage aircraft art finds itself a reasonably warm welcome around these parts. I came across these images recently, created by Matthew Porter for an piece entitled ‘High Lonesome‘. The artist’s impressions are included after the jump, but I think everyone will probably have their own take on it. For myself, I find airships, and the Hindenburg in particular, carry with them a sort of romanticism for a lost age, and that the juxtaposition of that with the rugged emptiness of the West imparts a sadness to these images, knowing what was to come.
