In 1950 David A. Hardy found a book called The Conquest of Space by Willy Ley, with paintings by Chesley Bonestell. It is not an exaggeration to say that this book changed David's life!  He was knocked out by these wonderful paintings which looked like photographs; of gleaming spaceships on the Moon, canals on Mars, or of Saturn with its rings, seen from various moons. Our knowledge of space and the worlds around us has changed out of all proportion since then, but Hardy has captured every new discovery and development since those days.

In this section you can see a selection of the art that David produced from 1952 to 1958. He will never sell this artwork, but prints can be produced from high-quality scans.
