Henri Farre:
"
When promoted to the rank of observer-bombardier, he did what no artist had done before: capture a first-hand view of aerial comba
t.
Participating in overnight raids, and daytime dogfights, he sketched and took notes, which he transformed into more than 170 oil paintings."
"Born in France, Henri Farré (1871-1934) trained in Paris and was a successful portrait painter in Buenos Aires before returning home in 1914 to serve his country by painting the Air Force." Link: https://chrysler.org/exhibition/henri-farre-and-the-birth-of-combat-aviation/
