In Plane View, an exhibition of 56 large--format photographs by the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum photographer Carolyn Russo, redirects our attention to the often-overlooked “simple beauty” of aircraft design. Russo exposes the bold colors, textures, shapes, and patterns that characterize diverse flying machines and, with her lens, transforms technology into art.

This exhibition has been organized by the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum.

The “In Plane View” exhibit is made possible with generous in-kind donations from Epson USA Inc.,the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Smithsonian Affiliations, Bogen Imaging Inc. and a grant from the Smithsonian Women’s Committee.
