Log of a Moon Expedition
Log of a Moon Expedition was a science fiction novel written and illustrated in 1969 by Czechoslovakian space artist Ludek Pesek. The book intended to be a look into what a moon colony would look like and included some of the latest ideas. Pesek’s work fluctuated between technical renderings of cosmic and terrestrial subjects and visionary, poetic surrealistic works. In addition to illustration, he also photographed and was the author of a number of science fiction books, of which Log of a Moon Expedition is one. Fascinated by the exploration of space and aware of his contribution as an artist, his late works were full of images of ‘life’ evolving from its home planet Earth to other places in the cosmos.
