The Great Moment by Paul Calle

 

Astronaut Michael Collins-

"Whether working with pencil or brush, Paul combines the insight, the raw talent and the highly deveolped technique that enable him to go beyond technology and present an image of the human spirit. This print of my friend Neil Armstrong by my friend Paul Calle combines for me the best of two worlds. NASA's technological achievements and an artist's exquisite interpretation of it. It looks as beautiful today as it did 20 years ago and as it will 100 years from now. Paul understood what we were about on Apollo XI, and this magnificnet print presents in a unique way the results of a gifted artist's creativity and skill. Thank you , Paul." Michael Collins - Apollo XI Command Module Pilot
