" FIRST MEN: NEIL A. ARMSTRONG " 200 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition Print
24" x 18"Email-price The work of artist Alan Bean conveys the sense of space travel not only through subject
and color but also texture. The tools that once helped him explore the moon, now help
him put the moon’s stamp on many of his paintings. Prior to painting the image, Bean
covers the painting’s surface with a texturing material. He then uses exact replicas of
his Moon boots to make footprints across this surface that are just like all the Apollo
boot prints remaining on the moon today. Next he uses the same geology hammer “I think this painting is exactly how Astronaut Neil Armstrong looked as he took the now-iconic photo of his lunar companion, Buzz Aldrin,” says the artist. “It is the image we would see in Buzz’s gold visor in my painting First Men¯Edwin E. “Buzz” Aldrin¯if we could look close enough.” ALAN BEAN - June 2011 - First Men: Neil A. Armstrong
