Glenn's Curtiss represents a breathtaking pivot in medium, proving Nova Hall’s mastery of the ancient, unforgiving discipline of sumi-e ink taught by his mentor, master painter Leandro Soto. Executed on delicate mulberry paper, the portrait consists of just a few flawless, sweeping black brushstrokes that form the tranquil profile of Glenn Curtiss. Curtiss was the engineering titan who first hired a young Donald A. Hall fresh from the Pratt Institute, elevating him from junior draftsman to Design Engineer. Stripped of the dense Arte Povera assemblage of the broader collection, this minimalist piece relies on the profound negative space and emotional restraint reminiscent of Chagall’s quietest works. Stamped with a traditional Chinese red ink signature, the artwork bridges Eastern aesthetic philosophy with the gritty, industrial birth of American aerospace engineering.
