That is quite interesting to me. We each have our own stories. Alan Bean is multi-talented. I had never heard his name before. He is an astronaut who can also paint. He wanted to paint what he had seen on the moon because the pictures taken didn't give off enough feeling. Included in this book are the photographs and painted pictures from Alan Bean. Sean Rubin did a tremendous job illustrating this book. It's a great read! Alan even used his astronaut boots to stamp his artwork and dust from his spacesuit to give his paintings a rough look. His paintings are beautiful. he author was actually able to work with Alan when creating this book. ( ) Ever since he and his paintings were featured as an Air and Space magazine cover story, Alan Bean has always been on my radar. I was delighted to find this picture book biography and quite pleased to see author Dean Robbins collaborated with Bean on this book. In fact, he dedicated this book to him. Alan Bean was both artist and astronaut and Robbins does an excellent job bringing this to life. The high quality of this book is also due to the illustrations of Sean Rubin. He conveys Bean's artistic style marvelously, but does not copy it. My favorite illustration of the book is the wordless two-page spread of two astronaut shadows on the moon viewing Earth. In an author's note at the end of the book, Robbins ends with this quote from Alan Bean - "I think of myself not as an astronaut who paints, but an artist who was once an astronaut". nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Journey to the Moon on the Apollo 12 mission with astronaut and artist Alan Bean! As a boy, Alan wanted to fly planes. As a young navy pilot, Alan wished he could paint the view from the cockpit. So he took an art class to learn patterns and forms. But no class could prepare him for the beauty of the lunar surface some 240,000 miles from Earth. In 1969, Alan became the fourth man and first artist on the moon. He took dozens of pictures, but none compared to what he saw through his artistic eyes. When he returned to Earth, he began to paint what he saw. Alan's paintings allowed humanity to experience what it truly felt like to walk on the moon."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
