Bonestell's Evolution Of the Earth
Taking a break from the "File-O-Code" (gasp!) stuff. Back in 1955 Life
magazine published a series of articles and a book titled, "The World We Live
In".
This was the project that made Rudolph Zallinger's Yale dinosaur murals
famous. As a six year-old kid, however, none of the images presented impressed
me
as much as Chesley Bonestell's paintings. The one that really got to me is
now up for auction at eBay. The painting shows the earth from its origin to
its distant end. When I saw this, the concept of enormous time began to sink
into my little brain. It was wonderful and frightening at the same time. I
believe the Boston Museum of Science owned this at one time. I wish all the
paintings from this project could be rephotographed and reproduced once again.
I
hope this one finds a good home. DV
