TO THE MOON

When John Glenn and his team achieved a flight to the moon, they stimulated world wide interest in the moon and outer space…..sparking and inspiring artists Jules Engel and Joseph Mugnaini to create an animated film “Icarus Montgolfier Wright…..”  The film won an Academy Award in 1951. Here is a group of the.original paintings by Joseph Mugnaini, inspired by Jules Engel and writer Ray Bradbury that were used in this film.  They are pristine, have not been matted or framed and are available to mount on YOUR wall. They are priced between $475. and $900. – gouache on heavy paper. Thrilling in concept and exciting in execution, these paintings are symbols of the ‘space fever’ that has swept the world!….that continues to inspire imaginations today!
