Description

With the rising popularity of all things related to outer space and science-fiction in the 1950s, many artists discovered a new frontier for inspiration. The colloquial term "far out" was widely used by poets, artists, and the Beat Generation to describe the ethereal and esoteric concepts explored in literature and visual arts. This selection of paintings, prints and sculptures from the permanent collection of the Robert McLaughlin Gallery exemplifies several Canadian artists' focus on outer space themes.
