In the late 1960s, when we first began to write about
art and camouflage, there wasn't much interest. But in recent years, the subject's popularity has grown phenomenally, and now it seems a commonplace for artists or academic scholars to be engaged, in one way or another, in
camouflage-related research. Some of the results are fascinating, while, not surprisingly, a lot of what is being done is neither interesting nor innovative.
Among those whose art pertains to camouflage, I find of particular interest a series of paintings (oil on canvas) by German-born American artist
Pia Dehne. One of those works (titled
Red Leaf Hunter, 2011) is
above, with a second
below (
F-16 Jet, 2011). She has an
artist's website that includes a subsection on
Camo Vision, which houses the series of paintings that I find of particular value. Her gallery representation is with
Salomon Contemporary in NYC and with
AJLART in Berlin.
