Pop Up Art Depicts 1909 Paris Air Exhibit

Norwalk artist Norm Siegel, who has always maintained a love for all things aviation and space, shows off one of his works at tonight’s Westport Artists’ Collective Pop Up art show at the Westport Arts Center. The oil on canvas painting is called “Louis Blériot lors du Premier Salon de l’Aeronautique à Paris 1909.” Blériot, a French aviator, inventor and engineer, on July 25, 1909 made the first flight across the English Channel in a heavier-than-air aircraft. The one-night only art show featuring 15 artists was the fourth since the Collective’s founding. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Helen Klisser During for WestportNow.com
