Early views of earth from space lay the groundwork for Brandl's vivid new series of landscapes

In his latest series, Austrian painter Hebert Brandl (born 1959) takes inspiration from the views of earth captured by the Apollo 17 crew in 1972. Drawing on the abstractions created by the camera technology at the time, Brandl transforms them into bright blue, dreamlike compositions.
