The book notes that American artists tend to approach their subject empirically, whereas the Soviet artists, much to the surprise of some, had a more symbolic, even spiritual approach. The western writers were not aware of the historical role of the Russian 'Cosmism' movement, which sought to place humankind in its proper place in the cosmos from a philosophical and spiritual viewpoint. Cosmism arose in the early 20th Century, and was encouraged by the Bolsheviks for making a break with Western materialism and encouraging scientific progress through collective effort. Although not acknowledged by the Soviet artists in this book, it nonetheless remains a potent theme in many of the works shown from Russian artists.
The book includes essays and work from two highly notable space artists who have also flown in space: Alexei Leonov, the first man to walk in space, and Alan Bean, who landed on the Moon on the Apollo 12 mission. (
