When Artists Get Bored... They Make Paper Planes

A surprising selection of 16 paper plane designs inspired by some of art's greatest names

Each of the planes included in this book celebrates an instantly recognizable masterwork from one of history's great artists. Transformed into brand-new designs by the ingenious imagination of paper plane expert Trevor Bounford, they're easy to cut out, fold, and fly, so you'll soon be taking to the skies! The selection includes Hokusai's iconic woodcut Great Wave off Kanagawa, Mondrian's Broadway Boogie Woogie, and Leonardo da Vinci's Vitruvian Man--as well as designs inspired by the work of Frida Kahlo, Hilma af Klint, and Sonia Delaunay. Reimagined in this book, all become elegantly cultured gliders, each one celebrating form, color, and aerodynamics.
