4.0 out of 5 stars Great selection of fantastic Paintings, 10 Mar 2002
By B. Naylor (Bucks, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book contains 60 of Robert Taylor's great combat air paintings, virtually all from the WWII era. The book is just over A4 size, with the paintings reproduced just slightly smaller.

This book was recommended to me some years ago when I acquired my first air combat paintings - the suggestion was to purchase the book and cut out all of the pictures saving yourself a great deal of money on the reproductions. I don't suggest you do this !

Overall a great book including some new pieces I haven't seen before. Ideal for the person who wants to see the range of combat air paintings from Robert Taylor.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to a brilliant artist, 16 Oct 2008
By Dr. H. Beentje (Kew, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is the perfect introduction to Robert Taylor's aircraft paintings, if you'd like one. he is very, very good; in most paintings you could take away the aircraft, and still be left with a very good landscape (or skyscape) painting! But he gets the `feel' of the aircraft just right, due to lots of research and by talking to the people who flew them.
For each painting there is a colour reproduction on one page; sometimes over one-and-a-half, which leads to a bit of loss on the fold. In addition you get a few paragraphs on how the painting came about, some history of the `plane or the pilot, and sometimes a comment by someone who flew the plane involved; plus a pencil sketch.
And there are 62 paintings reproduced - a very large number, so you get an amazing range, from Camel and SE-5 to Phantom and F-16, but mostly WW2 planes and scenes: lots of the famous ones, but also some rarer ones such as the Do-24 or the F1M2 `Pete'. Great stuff!
I like even better his `Air combat paintings' Vol. 1-4, because there you get more text and more pencil sketches (though fewer paintings per book). But this is a very good introduction, and it has paintings from all four volumes of that series - plus thirteen (13) ones that are not included in any of them! What is more, the reproduction in this `masterworks collection' is very good, slightly lighter-coloured, so in some paintings you actually see more detail.
This book does justice to Mr. Taylor's brilliant aviation paintings (he does ships too - see his Maritime paintings book). Recommended!
