One of the pioneers in bringing airbrush into the world of fine art was an avant-garde artist by the name of Man Ray. Man Ray worked in a variety of materials and was a contributor to the Dada and Surrealist movements. He loved the airbrush for its ability to produce an industrial like appearance with no brush strokes. Around 1919 he produced a series called “Aerographs” in which he used hand made stencils as well as household objects as stencils.
