The 1969 moon landing! First to Fall Forward” by Chad Fandel is a powerful pop art original painting

“First to Fall Forward” by Chad Fandel is a powerful pop art mixed media tribute to one of mankind’s greatest achievements—the 1969 moon landing. Created with layers of authentic vintage newspaper clippings from that historic year and painted in vibrant acrylic on canvas, the piece captures the monumental moment with abstract astronaut outlines marching boldly across a textured cosmic backdrop. Bold linework in electric hues overlays the newsprint, forming a spectral procession of figures, with a central white silhouette symbolizing Neil Armstrong’s first step onto lunar soil. Headlines like “Moon, Here They Come!” peek through, grounding the work in real history while infusing it with modern commentary on legacy, ambition, and discovery. Hand signed by the artist and includes a Certificate of Authenticity. Stretched . No frame
