W. Patrick McCray entitled, “Frank Malina: Dreamer of Space, Engineer of Art”

 

Abstract: Frank J. Malina (1912-1981) was a preeminent rocket engineer and a co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. He also enjoyed a long career as a professional artist, operating out of his studio in Paris, before founding the journal Leonardo. In his talk, W. Patrick McCray considers how art, technology, and science - often considered as separate sphere of creativity - came together in Malina’s careers. 

 

W. Patrick McCray is a professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara. An elected fellow of the AAAS and the APS, he is the author of the prizewinning 2013 book The Visioneers and, more recently, Making Art Work, which The MIT Press will publish later this year.
