Artists in Space

England (South East)

01. 09. 11

7.00pm - 8.30pm

Speaker: David A. Hardy

This talk, organised by the British Interplanetary Society, will cover the development of astronomical art from its earliest beginnings, and charts its progress through the French artist Lucien Rudaux, Chesley Bonestell and R.A. Smith, and Hardy’s own work from the early 1950s to the present day. It will include a short video of his method of working.

Space art is very important as it enables people to see, much more clearly than words, exactly what lies ‘out there’ and how we may reach these objectives. This applies whether it shows a satellite in orbit around Earth or the planet of a distant star.
