 Apollo : An Eyewitness Account
(Alan Bean with Andrew Chaikin)
“When NASA sent the crew of Apollo 12 to the moon, they may not have realized that they were giving an artist the vision that would carry him through a lifetime of painting. The artist, of course, was astronaut Alan Bean, whose trip to the moon with pals Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon sunk so deeply into his brain that he’s been trying to get it down on canvas ever since.”
