Explore the sky and space like never before in this first-ever space and aviation coffee table book dedicated to the renowned art collection at Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum.

Features 275 artworks spanning realism, pop art, and more--including many never seen by the public.

The National Air and Space Museum is home to a surprisingly expansive art collection, and The Art of Air and Space invites readers to delve into the sky--and beyond--through the eyes of those who have captured the human impulse for flight. Featuring 275 artworks from renowned and contemporary artists, this stunning coffee table book spans the late 18th century to present day. The collection reveals the wonders of flight in a range of media and styles, from etchings, paintings, lithographs, and sculpture to contemporary photography, including:

  • Francisco Goya's 19th century fanciful etching of flying men
  • Norman Rockwell's Americana paintings of the early space program
  • Georgia O'Keeffe's aerial painting after her first commercial flights
  • Alma Thomas's vibrant abstract paintings inspired by the Moon missions
  • Henri Farré's first-hand aerial combat drawings made during World War I
  • Annie Leibovitz's portrait photography from the NASA Art Program
  • Morris Graves's cosmic conceptual sculptures
  • Robert McCall's promotional paintings for 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Trek
