We sometimes think that we are just one person and cannot make that much difference.Then you read about someone that has helped many see what has yet to be seen.If you are a visual person that learns by seeing images, artists whocan paint pictures help take us to places we can only imagine and showus places we have yet to visit ourselves. - LRK - Boston Globe post of New York Times article. ----------------------------------------------------- http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/obituaries/articles/2010/03/06/robert_mccall_created_hundreds_of_paintings_on_space/ Robert McCall; created hundreds of paintings on space By Douglas Martin New York Times / March 6, 2010 NEW YORK - Robert T. McCall, an artist whose fervor for space exploration found expression in his six-story-tall mural at the National Air and Space Museum and two postage stamps canceled on the Moon, died Feb. 26 in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 90. The cause was heart failure, said his wife, Louise. Mr. McCall eagerly translated his youthful enthusiasm for drawingknights in shining armor on spirited steeds into paintings of intrepidastronauts in gleaming space vehicles, both real and imagined. When NASA in 1962 hit on the idea of enlisting artists to promote its mission, Mr. McCall was one of the first three chosen. snip ----------------------------------------------------- Enter --> [ Much to view in the link below, enjoy. - LRK - ] ----------------------------------------------------- http://www.mccallstudios.com/ NASA Space Art Gallery of Artist Robert T.

Pearlman posted: 01 March 2010 Artist Robert McCall, whose visions of the past, present, and future of space exploration have graced U.S. postage stamps, NASA mission patches, and the walls of the Smithsonian, died on Friday of a heart attack in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was 90. Once described by author Isaac Asimov as the "nearest thing to an artist in residence from outer space," McCall's paintings first attracted the public's attention in the 1960s on the pages of LIFE, illustrating the magazine's series on the future of space travel. He expanded on that theme at the invitation of director Stanley Kubrick, who had McCall paint the advertising posters for his seminal 1968 science fiction film, "2001: A Space Odyssey." Since then, many more have encountered McCall's space art through canvases both very large and very small. snip ============================================================== http://www.amazon.com/Art-Robert-McCall-Celebration-Future/dp/0553073559The Art of Robert McCall: A Celebration of Our Future in Space (Hardcover)~ Robert McCall Robert McCall (Author) snip ============================================================== WHAT THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE, AND BELIEVE, IT WILL ACHIEVE - LRK ============================================================== This is the lunar-update at news.altair.com https://news.altair.com/mailman/listinfo/lunar-update This list is a moderated list.
