The Flying Codonas
Artist: John Steuart Curry
Circa: 1933

Suspended midair under a tent of golden light, The Flying Codonas captures a fleeting instant of trust, gravity, and grace. American Regionalist John Steuart Curry—best known for his murals and humanist depictions of American life—painted this homage to the legendary family of aerialists who performed with Ringling Bros. in the 1930s. His dramatic use of foreshortening and spotlighting elevates this moment to near-mythic status, a poetic tribute to risk and motion.
