Feelin’ Fine
“This relaxed, impressionist astronaut image is one of
my favorites,” says Bean. “I felt just like this so
many times on the moon—even though I didn’t have time
to stop and ‘assume the position.’ I think it takes
a certain attitude of cockiness to be an astronaut, and it’s
hard to show those emotions when I am behind the gold visors.”

Alan
Bean: Artist/Astronaut/Moonwalker
Captain
Alan Bean was the lunar module pilot on Apollo 12, the
fourth man to walk on the moon and commander of Skylab
2. “I am fortunate enough to have seen sights no
other artist ever has,” Bean says. “I want my
paintings to communicate an emotional experience in ways
that photography cannot.”
Captain Bean creates his original works of art using a
unique technique allowing the viewer to actually sense
vestiges of the 20th century’s most dramatic accomplishments.
Pressed into the canvas surfaces are Captain Bean’s
authentic lunar boot “moonprints,” impressions
from a core tube-bit used to collect soil samples and
marks from a hammer used to drive the staff of the American
flag into the moon’s surface. Moon dust, trapped
on the patches on the outside of his suit, makes its way
onto each original as well.
Each print and canvas is an historical record of the lunar
experience, as each is signed by moonwalker Captain Alan
Bean, with most countersigned by other moonwalkers and
astronauts. This may be your only chance to own such a
visionary and historic celebration of man’s greatest
achievement.
NASA was sometimes asked “Why not send an artist
to the moon?” It turns out they did. |
