We sometimes think that we are just one person and cannot make that
much difference.
Then you read about someone that has helped many see what has yet to be seen.
If you are a visual person that learns by seeing images, artists who
can paint pictures help take us to places we can only imagine and show
us places we have yet to visit ourselves.

Robert McCall; created hundreds of paintings on space
By Douglas Martin
New York Times / March 6, 2010
NEW YORK - Robert T. McCall, an artist whose fervor for space
exploration found expression in his six-story-tall mural at the
National Air and Space Museum and two postage stamps canceled on the
Moon, died Feb. 26 in Scottsdale, Ariz. He was 90.
The cause was heart failure, said his wife, Louise.
Mr. McCall eagerly translated his youthful enthusiasm for drawing
knights in shining armor on spirited steeds into paintings of intrepid
astronauts in gleaming space vehicles, both real and imagined. When
NASA in 1962 hit on the idea of enlisting artists to promote its
mission, Mr. McCall was one of the first three chosen.

Famed Space Artist Robert McCall, 90, Dies
By Robert Z. Pearlman
posted: 01 March 2010
Artist Robert McCall, whose visions of the past, present, and future
of space exploration have graced U.S. postage stamps, NASA mission
patches, and the walls of the Smithsonian, died on Friday of a heart
attack in Scottsdale, Arizona. He was 90.
Once described by author Isaac Asimov as the "nearest thing to an
artist in residence from outer space," McCall's paintings first
attracted the public's attention in the 1960s on the pages of LIFE,
illustrating the magazine's series on the future of space travel. He
expanded on that theme at the invitation of director Stanley Kubrick,
who had McCall paint the advertising posters for his seminal 1968
science fiction film, "2001: A Space Odyssey."
Since then, many more have encountered McCall's space art through
canvases both very large and very small.
