The Way of an Eagle in the Air: The Paintings of Shlomo Katz at the United States Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel

This book features the powerful art of Shlomo Katz on display in the United States Air Force Cadet Chapel. The artist, who was commissioned by the Falcon Foundation, created nine special paintings as an extraordinary tribute to the United States Air Force. These works - presented in full-color reproductions in this book - are based on biblical themes of flying, justice, & brotherhood. The book, which cannot be mass produced because of the complexity of the printing, is 112 pages in a large format & includes a preface & an afterward. It is available in decorative cloth binding & in quality softcover editions. The brilliance & exquisite detail of the original paintings are replicated in six to eight inks instead of the four normally used in most color printing. Gold metallic ink captures the effect of the actual gold leaf used by the artist. Enlarged full-color details from the paintings illustrate points made in the text. Commentary on each work explains its relation to the biblical passage that inspired it. Lively interviews with the artist reveal fascinating insights into these paintings as well as unusual thoughts on art itself. Truly a book to be proud of.
