“Space Art” was born in the United States in the first half of the last century. It is a new form of art: its main subjects are the universe and its landscapes. The artists of “Space Art” often work with scientists and astronomical centres of research to translate the technology and the space search into visual art. Chesley Bonestell, one of the pioneers of this new form of art, painted imaginary sceneries of faraway worlds, trying to be as close as possible to the scientific explanations of the astronomers he worked with. Today painters, sculptors and illustrators are followers of this artistic movement: they express themselves through cosmic sceneries and the universe is the inspiration of their art.
