Alan Bean: Painting Apollo

Alan Bean: Painting Apollo features 107 of artist/astronaut Alan Bean’s luminous paintings, dramatically paired with quotes from some of the most exceptional and adventurous minds throughout history. Released to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing, Alan Bean: Painting Apollo is a one-of-a-kind study of humanity’s near-spiritual drive to explore the limits of our imagination and technical capabilities.
