Maurice Busset: A Glimpse into the World of Aviation and War Step back in time to Marche En Auvergne, a picturesque region in France's Auvergne province. It was here that Maurice Busset, a talented artist, captured the essence of this enchanting place through his brushstrokes. In his masterpiece titled "From Au Pied Des Puys, " created in 1919, Busset transports us to a serene landscape where nature's beauty intertwines with human existence. But it is not just landscapes that captivated Busset; he also delved into the realm of war and aviation. In his painting "Air cavalry, attacking the infantry" from 1918 (later completed in 1926), we witness the intensity and bravery displayed by soldiers as they take on their enemies from above. This artwork serves as a testament to the courage and skill required for aerial combat during World War I. Speaking of World War I, another notable piece by Busset is "Spad squad. " Here, he immortalizes an elite group of pilots who formed part of La division aerienne during this tumultuous period. These brave men soared through the skies with their Spad aircrafts, defending their homeland against enemy forces. Busset's passion for aviation extended beyond warfare; he also depicted training schools such as ɣole de perfectionnement de Chateauroux and ɣole d'Aviation - Le Pingoin. Through these paintings, we catch glimpses of aspiring aviators honing their skills under expert guidance. One cannot discuss Maurice Busset without mentioning his admiration for renowned pilot Guynemer. In "Le retour de l AS, " we see Guynemer triumphantly returning after yet another successful mission. The painting exudes pride and honor while paying tribute to one of history's great flying aces. In addition to capturing moments from wartime aviation, it also explored the camaraderie and competition among pilots.
