Description

Ralph's obsession with flying machines started from a young age. He recalls rushing home from school everyday and getting his homework done as soon as he could so that he could get on with building model aeroplanes. Two examples, made of balsa wood and tissue paper hang in his studio today. His first job would be at De Havilland Aircraft Company in Broughton, near Chester, but factory life was not for him and the aviation world's loss was the art world's gain. Years later he would follow in the footsteps of one of his great inspirations. Leonardo da Vinci and build a glider, although where Leonardo may have used canvas and strips of wood, Steadman would use an old nylon tent and bamboo canes. Ink on paper c. 1965 4897 by 3538 png
