Title A name given to the resource Painter Charles Polowetski Description An account of the resource Promotional photo shows Federal Art Project painter in his studio putting the final touches on his portrait of Floyd Bennett, created for a new airfield near Brooklyn named after the aviation pioneer. A World War I pilot, Bennett was best known for his 1926 flight to the north pole with Adm. Richard E. Byrd. According to a press release, the painting's background "depicts the icebergs and water in King's Bay near Spitzbergen in the Arctic region, and shows the airplane in which Byrd and Bennett flew over the Pole." Polowenski (1884-1955) was a Polish immigrant who studied painting in New York and then in Paris. Although an accomplished landscape painter--his 1936 "Spring in Central Park" is at the New Deal Gallery--he was most in demand for his portraiture.
