For centuries, firearms have been intimately involved in the fine art community. They provided a canvas for sculpture, engraving, carving, and aesthetics only limited by man’s imagination. Shown here are art objects from two prominent firms whose imaginations showed no such limitations. All were featured in various countries’ world fairs in the 19th century and many have been on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Music, sculpture, poetry, paint… firearms. Do you feel they should be included in such company?
