The Big Space Colony Art Collection

Futurist Art by Arthur Radebaugh

The illustrative work of Arthur C. Radebaugh, 1906-1974 - a dynamic joy to behold...(especially the artwork for BOHN). See more in a great collection here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/x-ray_delta_one/sets/72157622518584561/

"Radebaugh was a top-notch commercial illustrator who worked for companies as diverse as Chrysler and Coca-Cola. He was based in Detroit from the 1930s to 1960s, and much of his work anticipated design revolutions in the automotive and other industries. He once described his work as "halfway between science fiction and designs for modern living." from http://www.cartype.com/pages/2913/radebaugh
