Joseph Szady
Growing up in a small Massachusetts town in the 50's Joseph spent many hours watching F-86 Sabres climb into the sky from Westover Field, near his father's home town outside of Springfield. "I can still hear the loud roar; those memories give me goose-bumps". Leaving his New England home, Joseph attended the University of Notre Dame, where he participated in football, boxing, and rugby before graduating with a BA in liberal arts in 1973. He later attended Ray-Boge School of Art, where he received the Illustrator's Award in both 1977 and 1978, before graduating in 1978. Joseph has been a member of the prestigious American society of Aviation Artists since his inspirational meeting with ASAA founder, Keith Ferris, at Keith's New Jersey home in 1990.
His love of military aviation led to many defense related assignments. His clients include: the U.S. Navy, General Electric, and the Harris Corporation. Various aviation commissions are now hanging in private collections across the United States and three of Joseph's paintings hang permanently at the Officer's Club on Kirtland, AFB in Albuquerque. "CAG Cat Sunset" has been on display at the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, and Joseph has had several paintings on display at other museums and airports.
Joseph Szady Open Edition Print "Giants Over the Horizon"
This spectacularly beautiful aviation painting was created as a celebration of the Air Force career of Col.(ret.) Louis Bernasconi. Spanning 3 decades of service, the main subject is the venerable B-52D that Col. Bernasconi went down in during Operation Linebacker II in December of 1972, and immediately became one more border of the infamous “Hanoi Hilton”. Over the top of the ”Buff” flies the forerunner of the B-52, the B-47E, that now resides as a gate guard, and the incredible B-36 which Col. Bernasconi flew in the 1950’s and is now the actual B-36 on display at the Air Force Museum at Dayton, Ohio.
All three SAC bombers seem to be flying in graceful unison over a gorgeous sunset above a carpet of warm clouds that disappear over the horizon. BEAUTIFUL!

All Limited Edition prints are signed and numbered (S/N) by the artist. Limited Edition prints are restricted to a certain number. For example, if 400 prints are made from an original painting, once they’re gone, that’s it. There is no limit to the number of open edition prints of a particular painting. That’s why Limited Edition prints are more expensive — and more valuable to collectors — than "open" edition. Rare objects are more valuable.
