We recently obtained an autographed copy of Edwin ‘Buzz’ Aldrin’s new book ‘Magnificent Desolation’ about his post moon-landing life and his subsequent adjustment struggles as a normal human being back on earth (an adjustment that involved a couple of women, alcoholism and depression). Reading this book bought to mind how another moon walker adjusted to life back on earth – Alan Bean, (the fourth human to walk on the moon). He turned to painting... One of his paintings below.
Alan Bean, "Beyond a Young Boy's Dream", 1989, acrylic on Masonite board. More here.
