ALAN BEAN 1932-2018
Mother Earth.
Color print on canvas, approximately 12 x 9 3/4 inches, Greenwich Workshop, 2006.
LIMITED EDITION, number 20 of 25 Artist Proofs, SIGNED by Alan Bean. Bean was quoted about this work: "The planet Earth seemed a long way off in this scene because it was - about a quarter of a million miles, in fact. From the Moon, the Earth appeared as a beautiful blue-and-white marble with occasional small orange areas, which were deserts.
"The Moon itself was a foreboding place when viewed from orbit, mostly gray with stark, angular mountains and deep, rough canyons and craters. It was as if nature had pounded it again and again with a big, big hammer.
"In contrast, our Earth was beautiful - all shiny and bright. It was hard to believe that everybody I had ever known - or seen on TV - and the places they lived and played were all on that little blue-and-white marble."
