About the Item

2006 giclee on canvas print titled "An American Success Story" by Astronaut Alan Bean, showing "Astronaut John Young in April 1972 as he stood proudly on the moon and saluted the American flag." Signed and numbered 18/25 (Artist's Proof) in the lower left corner. Includes a personalized Certificate of Authenticity and two personal photographs. Beveled black wood frame with textured, brass painted inner border. Astronaut and artist Alan Bean is not only the first artist to paint a world other than our Earth who actually went there, he is the first in history to paint our Earth after viewing it from space. His art’s significance as the original human interpretative record of man’s first off-world experience will only increase in its importance and value over time. Those of us who were lucky enough to be alive during the Apollo program look at Bean’s art and share the stirring of emotion, pride and the sense of awe that we experienced as we lived through the fulfillment of President Kennedy’s challenge. The whole world (the artist’s “fellow earthlings”) can now look up at the moon in the night’s sky and know that human beings were once there looking back at us. “Over the years I changed my profession from NASA astronaut to space artist,” says Alan Bean. “I have created several paintings of earth and in the years since the Apollo 12 mission, my astronaut eyes have gradually been replaced with artist eyes. I now see the Earth in my mind’s eye as much brighter than recorded by our cameras,” he says about “A Jewel in the Heavens,” “and I paint the Earth in bolder colors now.” This Fine Art Giclee Canvas not only takes us off this Earth to look back upon it in the company of an Apollo astronaut, it is a ticket back to one of the most fulfilling times in our lives.
