Robert McCall has died
http://nasawatch.com/archives/2010/0...rt-mccall.html
If the name doesn't ring a bell, this painting of his certainly will: http://thisdistractedglobe.com/wp-co...2001poster.jpg He was a giant in the world of space illustration, ranking right up there with Chesley Bonestell, and his incredibly energetic paintings could take your breath away the first time you saw them; there's a online gallery of them he http://www.mccallstudios.com/gallery_index.html Pat |

Makin' me feel old, Pat. I remember McCall's work from the 60's. I didn't realize just how far he went back till I ran into a painting he did of a prototype Atlas launch from 1959: http://www.plan59.com/av/av452.htm Pat |

Thats a real blow to the world of space art. Certianly comprable to Bonestell. I have a Popular Sceince around here somewhere (late 60's maybe) about manned ASAT's and McCall did some beautiful work in the article (I've never seen those illustrations anywhere in the public domain) For a few years there, you'd see his work every month or so it seemed. He was obviously very prolific as far as total number of paintings went. He had a very distinctive style which I found highly effective. Really liked this one in particular: http://www.hellomuller.com/blog/wp-c.../03/mccall.jpg Pat |
