Description

Take a journey through the cosmos and walk through the beautiful illustrations known as space art.  Marvel at the journey of space art that began in ancient times and makes its way to the visions of today.

Split into two parts, this book first takes us through the art of astronomy from the industrial revolution to the 20th century space age. In the second part, we learn about techniques and sub-genres of art which includes concepts of hardware art and cosmic expressionism. Painting a vivid story of the universe, this book is made to entertain and inspire anybody who is interested in the beauty of space through the means of art.
