A close depiction of Reality, the same words that move the gratest Rennaisance artists, is the central objetive of the Boxart, at least in the Model making world, many paintings are a close match of colours, proportions, numbers and terrains. Norn in the XX century, in the begginings with primitive one colour printing (perpetuated behind the Iron courtain until the 80's), until the Revell's hipperealist art in the seventies, paasing throught the simplistics photos of the Ceji era.
It's my opinion, that the Boxart's best times are between the sixties and the seventies, wint hands like Steel, Hinomatsu and Knight, not only technically perfect, as any classical painting, but also with a strong emotion, in the same way that Ucello or Caravaggio, I almost can smell the burning planes in the foreground of a perfect composition, with the plane in the perfecto position. Perfectly harmonized, by example, a Black PBY-5 in a black ocean, ina a black sky, and even all illuminated in a clear night composition.
This is one of my favorites, a Black Cat¡s Catalina, flying at night in a combat scene, a usual in this art, is not signed.
