The Art of Drew Struzan

Description

Drew Struzan has created some of the most iconic movie poster images of the last 30 years, from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Star Wars: Episode III". This is the first book to cover his movie work in depth. Featuring over 300 pieces of artwork, including previously unseen poster art for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Hellboy II", this is a treat for movie buffs and artists alike.

Drew Struzan's art is some of the most iconic in modern movies, with the artwork for over 150 movie posters to his credit, including all the Star Wars, Back to the Future and Indiana Jones movies, Harry Potter, E.T., Big Trouble in Little China, The Goonies and the Muppets. George Lucas dubbed him "the only collectible artist since World War II" and Steven Spielberg called him his "favorite movie artist".
