SCULPTURES BY DENNY PIZZINI
Sculptor Denny Pizzini,
an avid history buff, draws his inspiration from classic
WWII aircraft "Nose Art." For Pizzini this
is no fleeting interest. In the 1950's, he spent four years
stationed on a U.S. Strategic Air Command Base as the
Crew Chief on a B-36 in the 70th Bomb Squadron. It was
there that he gained first hand experience painting popular "pin-up
girls" onto B-36 bombers. Returning home to New
York City with no aircraft noses to paint, he transformed
his favorite pin-up girls into sculptures, creating a
handful for friends and family.
In the Late-90s Pizzini
resumed his sculpture-making with his signed edition
"dennydolls" ©. Scupltures are cast in either
resin or cold-cast bronze and are finished and painted
completely by hand. Each is signed and dated by the artist.
