To Cosmonautics Day April 12. About the painting of Russian cosmonauts Alexei Leonov, Vladimir Dzhanibekov and American astronaut Alan Bean

Cosmonauts - people of a truly heroic profession - are hard to imagine in philosophical reflections, with a brush behind an easel. It is understandable. Space is a harsh world that does not forgive human mistakes either in orbit or on earth, requiring the utmost rationality. But for those chosen ones who have been in it, space is also fantastic emotions, very special experiences, an internal dialogue with eternity alone with the boundless universe. Perhaps that is why astronauts take up brushes. And not without success: not on the table, but with albums, with books, with exhibitions, with museums. These are the cosmonauts-artists that will be discussed.

Most famous artist among cosmonauts since the 1960s is, of course, Alexei Arkhipovich Leonov (1934). Double Hero Soviet Union(the astronauts were simply not given more than two gold stars), the first man in outer space (at that time miraculously did not die in an emergency situation), a daredevil who more than once looked death in the eye. Together with Gagarin, he applied for participation in a manned expedition to the moon (which never took place). However, Leonov is not a harsh hero, but a charming, smiling man, a favorite of the inhabitants of Star City. His book " sunny wind”, decorated with his own drawings and paintings, was among many Soviet schoolchildren. In those days, no money was spared for education.

Leonov is an artist of impression, who cares not for graphic perfection and photographic quality, but for a fantastic palette and unearthly views that he observed with his own eyes. Leonov managed to carry colored pencils aboard the ship, so many of his works are based on sketches made on board the stations. It is no coincidence that one of his best paintings was “Above the Terminator” (the zone of day and night change), in which there are neither astronauts nor spaceships of the future - only nature in all its perfection.

Leonov has been painting both entirely by himself and together with Andrei Konstantinovich Sokolov (1931–2007) since the mid-1960s. The paintings of Leonov and Sokolov were published many times, and one of their painting series formed the basis of the design of the series postage stamps"15 years of the space age" 1972.

Leonov's paintings are in museums, participate in exhibitions, were exhibited three times at auctions. The highest price was registered at Sotheby's back in 1996. Then his one and a half meter canvas with the launch of Soyuz-19 was sold for $9,200.

Pictures of the co-author Leonov - the artist were put up for auction. Sokolov had no direct relationship to space, but he was one of the pioneers in space painting. An architect by education (his father, by the way, built Baikonur), Sokolov from 1957 became interested in painting on space theme, with a sci-fi twist. Fantast Ivan Efremov dedicated the story “Five Paintings” to him - a rather reactionary one, criticizing abstract art in accordance with the spirit of that time and elevating artists working with the themes of space and the future space research. Efremov's "Russian Falcon" - accidentally found "the only Russian space artist who worked at the very beginning of the space age" - this is just Sokolov. His paintings inspired not only Efremov. In the biographies of Andrei Konstantinovich, one can read that it was under the influence of his painting “Elevator to Space” that Arthur Clarke wrote the book “Fountains of Paradise”. Quite possible. Both the picture and the idea itself still make an impression. Sokolov's paintings can now be purchased at the gallery market. And just a month ago, one of his paintings, Sakhalin from Space (1980), was sold at the Russian Enamel auction for 90,000 rubles.

Another Russian cosmonaut who is seriously involved in painting is (1942). A daredevil, a professional of the highest class and a great clever girl. Made five expeditions, twice Hero of the Soviet Union. Dzhanibekov was sent into the thick of things, to the most difficult and risky tasks. In 1985, Dzhanibekov and Savinykh were sent to restore the work of the Salyut-7 station, which had lost control and was inoperable. Docked with her in visual manual mode, without automation. They entered, repaired, as a result, the station continued to work.

Vladimir Dzhanibekov draws and writes not only space, although space subjects are often found in his works. But if you look at his selected works on the official website, it becomes clear that he is more interested not in the technological side of space exploration, but in man and philosophical questions universe. Dzhanibekov is a member of the Union of Artists, and in 2012 he was accepted into the art association "Mitki".

On the auction market, Dzhanibekov's painting has been exhibited only once so far - in 2015 at the Berlin auction Auctionata. Then his canvas "Cosmonaut" (1984) was sold for $455.

For our cosmonauts, painting is more of an internal need, they definitely do not make a living from art. But their overseas counterpart manages to earn money with his civic hobby. American astronaut Alan Bean (1939) participated in the 1969 Moon landing as part of the Apollo 12 crew. Walked on the surface of the Earth's satellite, collected soil samples in the Ocean of Storms.

After resigning from NASA in 1981, Alan Bean chose not the usual political career for retirees, but devoted himself entirely to painting. His main theme naturally became lunar landscapes, astronauts in spacesuits working on the surface of the moon. His works are exhibited by museums at specialized space exhibitions, sold by galleries, and their price level is about $45,000. The only auction sale for paintings by Alan Bean was registered in 2007. A medium-sized acrylic depicting an astronaut working on the moon was sold at the New Orleans US auction for $38,400. The auction also sells his large lithographs (about $500) and photographs taken during the lunar expedition ($300-$1000 dollars).

These are the space artists.

And, taking this opportunity: cosmonauts, astronauts, engineers, scientists, physicians, all specialists participating in space programs, and everyone who is rooting for them - Happy Holidays! Happy Cosmonautics Day! Happy 55th anniversary of Gagarin's flight, which we celebrate in 2016!

Space pictures are what helps us to get to know the unknown world of the universe better. On clear warm evenings, looking at the sky strewn with millions of stars, people involuntarily freeze in front of its grandeur and incredible beauty. It is so mysterious and alluring.

What is hidden in the moon? Why do stars twinkle? Are there living inhabitants on other planets? A person can see the fullness of cosmic mysteries either on a dark moonless night, or admiring beautiful pictures space in excellent hd quality.

planets solar system excite the imagination and cause a hundred thoughts. It is amazing that there are other worlds different from ours. Saturn, Jupiter, Venus, Mars - what are they? What is the earth from space, if you look at it from the side?

The answer lies in the collection, which contains pictures on the topic space. Here all its greatness, beauty, fabulousness are collected and many mysteries are revealed.

Photos of space are rich in surprises and unusual landscapes and therefore are so popular with people. They keep secrets that mankind has not yet been able to unravel. By studying photographs of the earth from space, we only put forward our assumptions about existing life in other civilizations.

Perhaps someday we will see creatures similar to us or even more developed on them. And who knows, maybe it will be tomorrow? Install image space on your desktop, and suddenly a cute alien will smile at us from the photo and happily say: “Hello!”

Painting makes it possible to see the uncreated, to place the gaze at a point where there has not yet been a camera, so it is not surprising that the theme of space is quite well represented in it. This publication is by no means a review of all the artists who have depicted space, but rather a run through the milestones through the prism of my taste perception.

Artist Anatoly Muschenko

It is unlikely that you will be able to find the first "space artist", but Jules Verne's science fiction illustrators clearly stood at the origins of this genre. "From the Earth to the Moon" and "Around the Moon" were read by the future pioneers of astronautics, and as they launched their rockets, they could recall the scene of the epic, if not realistic, shot of the Columbiad.

In the 1920s, there was a group of cosmist artists "Amaravella" in the USSR, but they were mainly inspired by the ideas of the Roerichs, Blavatsky, Chiurlionis and the cultures of the East, therefore they painted all sorts of indefinite mysticism. It is unlikely that Sergei Shigolev's painting "Work in Space", written in 1927, depicts real people working in real space.

The fate of Shigolev was sad, but other representatives of his generation managed to do more. Chelsea Bonestell (7 years older than Shigolev) became a beacon in painting for Americans who dream of space. His illustrations appeared in magazines starting in the mid-1940s and were used in the 1949 book Conquest of Space, which was read to holes by boys struck in the very heart by a Soviet satellite.

Yuri Shvets worked in the USSR. He worked more for cinema, as a production designer, and his work is visible in the excellent films of Klushantsev, but you could also come across paintings.

Alas, in reality, 1996 was marked by completely different events.

Orbital space station launch pad

Then came the turn of artists who, in addition to fantasies, saw space flights directly. Paul Calley (official site), for example, was the only artist invited to record the process of dressing the Apollo 11 astronauts in spacesuits before launch. In addition, he painted pictures and actively drew for postage stamps.

"Power"

The young artist Anastasia Prosochkina has already achieved notable success. Her work combines artistic look and attention to technical details (Anastasia consults industry workers). The original style is popular, the paintings were ordered by both Roskosmos and private space companies.

On the Planet crowdfunding platform, Anastasia's project to release a space calendar is coming to an end, and five times more than the required amount has already been collected. I am glad that the idea of ​​hanging a calendar on your wall next year With space drawings interesting to the general public.
