Frances Azaren
Chesley Bonestell is known as the grandmaster of space art, being one of the first artists who brought to life the destinations in the Universe through scientifically accurate paintings. His work would inspire an entire generation of scientists, writers, and visionaries. Many argue that his art helped increase the momentum for America's exploration of the solar system.
AWB's Mike Simmons and Andrew Fazekas will moderate a cast of all-star guests including producer, director Doug Stewart of the new documentary film “Chesley Bonestell: a Brush with the Future”.
