Past futures : science fiction, space travel, and postwar art of the Americas / by Montross, Sarah J.,auhor,organizer.(CARDINAL)853968; Alonso, Rodrigo,contributor.(CARDINAL)853965; Fernández Delgado, Miguel Ángel,1967-contributor.(CARDINAL)853966; Goodyear, Anne Collins,writer of foreword.(CARDINAL)266094; O'Dea, Rory,contributor.(CARDINAL)853967; Bowdoin College.Museum of Art,publisher,host institution.(CARDINAL)155216; MIT Press,publisher.(CARDINAL)175217;
Includes bibliographical references.From the 1940s to the 1970s, visionary artists from across the Americas reimagined themes from science fiction and space travel. They mapped extraterrestrial terrain, created dystopian scenarios amid fears of nuclear annihilation, and ingeniously deployed scientific and technological subjects and motifs. This book offers a sumptuously illustrated exploration of how artists from the United States and Latin America visualized the future. Inspired variously by the "golden age" of science fiction, the Cold War, the space race, and the counterculture, these artists expressed both optimism and pessimism about humanity's prospects. Past Futures showcases work by more than a dozen artists, including the biomorphic cosmic spaces and hybrid alien-totemic figures painted by the Chilean artist Roberto Matta (1911-2002); the utopian Hydrospatial City envisioned by Argentine Gyula Kosice (1924-); and Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan, in which Robert Smithson (1938-1973) layered tropes of time travel atop Mayan ruins. The artists respond to science fiction in film and literature and the media coverage of the space race; link myths of Europeans' first encounters with the New World to contemporary space exploration; and project futures both idealized and dystopian.

The astronaut who painted the moon : the story of Alan Bean / by Robbins, Dean,1957-author.(CARDINAL)621489; Rubin, Sean,1986-illustrator.(CARDINAL)352418;
"Journey to the Moon on the Apollo 12 mission with astronaut and artist Alan Bean! As a boy, Alan wanted to fly planes. As a young navy pilot, Alan wished he could paint the view from the cockpit. So he took an art class to learn patterns and forms. But no class could prepare him for the beauty of the lunar surface some 240,000 miles from Earth. In 1969, Alan became the fourth man and first artist on the moon. He took dozens of pictures, but none compared to what he saw through his artistic eyes. When he returned to Earth, he began to paint what he saw. Alan's paintings allowed humanity to experience what it truly felt like to walk on the moon."--Ages 4-6.K to grade 3.AD590LAccelerated Reader AR
