Lear Executive 1967

"Lear Executive" (1967) by Rosalyn Drexler is a painting depicting a scene from the life of a wealthy executive. In the top portion, the figure of an older white man, possibly Lear himself, sits in a private airplane, writing on a document. Below, a plane takes off into the sky, suggesting the rapid movement of high-flying executives like Lear, whose company, Learjet, revolutionized air travel in the mid-20th century. Drexler's unique style uses bold lines and vibrant colors, capturing the energy and dynamism of Lear's world.
