I am aware of the following art books by Alexei Leonov: - Earth and Space Painting
- To the Stars
- Stars are Awaiting Us
- Life Among Stars
Does anyone know of any other art books by Leonov?I have a letter in which he refers to a book titled People and Space. Has anyone heard of this book or does anyone have a copy? |

I have a copy of Leonov's "The Sun's Wind" which is large format book for younger readers detailing the ASTP mission and filled with illustrations by Leonov, which he signed for me in Vienna back in 1993. |

For a completist, you could include "In the Stream of Stars: The Soviet / American Space Art Book" (1990) edited by Hartmann, Sokolov, Miller and Myagkov. Includes the work of many space artists, including a chapter by Leonov illustrated by his work. The same for other spacefaring artists Vladimir Dzhanibekov and Alan Bean. |

Does anyone have a copy of, or any information on a book by Alexei Leonov titled "Man and Universe" or "Man and Space"? |

The painting here was made by Mr. Leonov in 1974.I read somewhere that in the above painting, he later acknowledged the mistake he committed by drawing the solar arrays as partially folded, when in fact they should be straight and extended during the docking procedure. I forgot where he said that and really need this for citation in my research. Since you guys have many of Leonov's art books, perhaps you could help me! |
