One Small Step by Rob Schwager is a 19″ x 25″ screenprint which has an edition of 50, and costs $25.
The artist describes his inspiration:
“I have always been a huge fan of the “space race era” and space exploration in general. I had wanted to create a print that captured the feeling of awe and wonder that we Americans shared back on that night in 1969. When it was broadcast live on TV that man had first set foot on the moon.
I was getting ready to print last week when I heard that Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos had found the Apollo 11 booster rockets and was planning to recover them. I couldn’t believe that the timing of his announcement coincided with my latest art print. I’m glad that private individuals like Bezos are able to pick up the mantle held by NASA for so long and continue to try and explore space.
I hope that future generations can feel that same sense of awe and wonder and be inspired as I have been.”
this is crazy cool 🙂 i love the expression of the child. i think that had i watched the space launch that day i would have been dressed in the same way accompanied with my buzz lightyear 🙂
