The Road to the Moon is Ready. Illustration for the Tekhnika Molodezhi magazine, 1956.
The most important Soviet space artist of the 1950´s and 1960´s was probably Nikolay Kolchitsky (1907 - 1979), a collaborator of the Tekhnika Molodezhi magazine and illustrator of many books and magazine features on exploring outer space. The artist had technical education so he was quite easy with portraying technology of the future. His artwork shows the cold beauty of other worlds and space technology; the artist tried to be most precise and serious.
The artwork had been sent by Yuri Zubakin. See his entire collection of Kolchitsky´s art here.
