ISBN: 9781581128291.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChesley Bonestell has been called the \"Father of Space Art.\" His photorealistic paintings of the Moon and planets, and other worlds beyond, have awed us since they were first published, over half a century ago. Moreover, he showed, long before Gagarin or Glenn, what it would be like for humans to explore the vastness of space.\n\nAs author Howard E. McCurdy has written in his book, Space and the American Imagination: \"No artist had more impact on the emerging popular culture of space in America than Chesley Bonestell. . . . Through his visual images, he stimulated the interest of a generation of Americans and showed how space travel would be accomplished.\"\nConsidering his great influence on both the public interest in space flight and the actual development of a national space program, it is therefore both surprising and unfortunate that, heretofore, there has not been available a bibliography documenting those places where Bonestells art appeared in print. This book fills that void.\nWritten in cooperation with the artists widow and his estate managers, A Chesley Bonestell Space Art Chronology contains well over 700 entries and is the definitive reference guide to publications containing Bonestells space art. In praise of it, the illustrator Vincent Di Fate says: \"This entertaining and scholarly work is an invaluable and indispensable treasure for the vast legions of Bonestells fans. [T]houghtful, engrossing and utterly thorough . . . [it] provides the cosmic ride of a lifetime.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Universal Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946724126773,"sku":"ByrdShop_1581128290","price":58.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781581128291_7373626d-55c5-4a4a-bf95-6a356d4ca967.jpg?v=1778629142","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-chesley-bonestell-space-art-chronology-9781581128291","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
