Alan Bean 'Moon Rovers'
Alan Bean says, "I've portrayed astronaut Jim Irwin doing what tourists do around the world: take snapshots of the wonderful and exotic places they visit. In this photograph he is immortalizing his partner, Apollo 15 Commander Dave Scott, proudly riding in their new car, the Lunar Rover." Alan captures a memorable moment during the 1971 lunar mission, with the Falcon lunar module and a brilliantly blue Earth for a backdrop. The fourth man to walk upon the lunar surface, Bean can count himself among the fortunate few who have been "moon rovers."

Alan Bean 'Hello Universe'
"Here we are, humans of planet Earth, standing on our only moon. Getting there wasn't easy; in fact, it took about four hundred thousand of us giving our best efforts. None could do it alone but together we found a way to achieve this seemingly impossible dream. When the time is right, we will be ready to continue our noble quest to expand humanity's reach. Our children and our children's children will have to continue the search, each succeeding generation moving a little farther out, discovering more answers and even greater questions. The Universe awaits our audacious human spirit. Be patient...we are coming."

Alan Bean 'Heavenly Reflections'
"I have painted Pete Conrad and myself 239,000 miles from Earth during the Apollo XII mission, standing on the Ocean of Storms, looking homeward. Pete and I had come a long way together. He is the best astronaut I have ever known. As we looked up, the sky was a deep shiny black. As I touched Pete's shoulder I thought, can all the people we know or have seen or heard about actually be up on that tiny blue and white marble? It was a wondrous moment."

Alan Bean 'A Fire To Be Lighted'
"The Falcon is on the Plain at Hadley." These were the first words heard back on Earth when Dave Scott and Jim Irwin made their landing in July 1971. Falcon had alighted them on a scientific bonanza.As Dave looked around from Falcon's overhead hatch, he thought, "No place on Earth has such a concentration of features."There were mountains taller than Everest (relative to their surroundings) and a meandering gorge a mile across, a thousand feet deep and seventy miles long. Lunar exploration had come a long way since Neil and Buzz made their first moonwalk just two years earlier. Dave and Jim had the lunar rover, a moon car that would make possible five times the total surface exploration of the three previous missions combined; and they had improved space suit backpacks which allowed them to stay outside their spacecraft nearly twice as long as any of us who had flown earlier. I have painted Dave Scott, a good friend and skilled explorer, at the pinnacle of his astronaut career. In his own words, "We went to the Moon as trained observers in order to gather data, not only with our instruments on board, but also with our minds. Plutarch, a wise man who lived a long time ago, expressed the feelings of the crew of Apollo 15 when he wrote 'the mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be lighted.'"

Alan Bean 'Feelin' Fine'
"This relaxed, impressionist astronaut image is one of my favorites," says Bean. "I felt just like this so many times on the moon-even though I didn't have time to stop and 'assume the position.' I think it takes a certain attitude of cockiness to be an astronaut, and it's hard to show those emotions when I am behind the gold visors."

Alan Bean 'Homeward Bound'
On Christmas morning of 1968, Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders completed their tenth lunar orbit in man's first trip to the moon. With the burn of the service module engine just completed on the back side of the moon, these men are homeward bound.
PROJECT APOLLO! Man's triumphant travel to, and safe return from, the moon remains one of the 20th century's most significant accomplishments. And, in the tradition of frontier artist-explorers Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell, fine artist-astronaut-moonwalker Alan Bean was there!

Alan Bean 'The Hammer And The Feather'
This Alan Bean print recreates Galileo's famous experiment from the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Galileo postulated that gravity acts upon all objects with the same force, whether they are light or heavy. On Earth, the air would slow the feather's fall, but Apollo 15 commander Dave Scott had no such problem on the airless moon. Both his lunar hammer and falcon feather (the LM was nicknamed Falcon) landed on the lunar surface at the same time, doing Galileo proud.
