Book Description:
When Star Wars debuted in 1977, it
revolutionized the visual landscape of mainstream
American filmmaking, transporting fans to new galaxies
and introducing them to countless now-classic
characters, costumes, aliens, planets, and starships. By
2005, with the last film in theaters, the Star Wars Saga
had become a phenomenon impacting cultures across the
globe. From the beginning, the Star Wars aesthetic was
influenced by comic book artists from the 1930s to the
1970s; famed illustrators Chesley Bonestell, John Berkey,
Frank Frazetta, and others; as well as classical
artists. Just as George Lucas drew upon the work of N.
C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell for his own visual
inspiration, he has now invited more than 100 of the
most well-known and promising working artists-across
several disciplines, genres, and countries-to draw upon
the entire Star Wars galaxy for inspiration. Star
Wars Visions collects these magnificent artworks for
the first time. Featuring pieces by renowned artists
such as Amano, Allan R. Banks, Harley Brown, Gary
Carter, James Christensen, Michael Coleman, Kinuko
Craft, Jim Dietz, Phillipe Druillet, Donato Giancola,
Ann Hanson, H. R. Giger, Daniel Greene, Ron Kleeman,
Arantza Martinez, Syd Mead, Moebius, Paul Oxborough,
Alex Ross, Anthony J. Ryder, Dolfi Stoki, William Stout,
Dan Thompson, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo, Scott
Waddell, Yuqi Wang, and Jamie Wyeth, Star Wars
Visions is a breakthrough tribute to the worldwide
inspiration that Star Wars has fostered for over three
decades. |
