La Tana del Sollazzo

Described by Steven Spielberg as “My favorite movie artist”, 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 the acclaimed artist’s movie work in depth, with a Foreword by Frank Darabont. Featuring over 300 pieces of artwork, from black and white and colour comprehensives (presenting concepts and ideas) to final poster art, accompanied by excerpts from an exclusive interview with the artist, the development of 40 projects is related and explained. With scores of previously unseen pieces, including unused final poster art for movies such as Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and Hellboy II, this is a treat for movie buffs and artists alike.

Drew Struzan a travaillé tel un magicien pendant plus de quarante ans, créant à travers l'art de l'affiche de film quelques-unes des plus importantes images historiques et iconographiques de ce milieu. Il est le témoin de l'avènement de l'affiche, passée de l'ignominie d'une simple publicité au statut d'oeuvre d'art recherchée... et il a aussi pu observer le délabrement de cet objet revenu de nos jours à sa forme initiale de simple outil de marketing.

Drew Struzan has created some of the most iconic movie posters of the last 30 years, including Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Blade Runner.
