Book Description

Publication Date: Nov 1 2010

When Star Wars debuted in 1977, it revolutionized mainstream American filmmaking, transporting fans to new galaxies and introducing them to countless now-classic characters, aliens, planets, and starships. In the decades since, the Star Wars Saga has become a phenomenon impacting cultures across the globe.

 

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 well-known and promising artists 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, Arantzazu Martinez, Syd Mead, Moebius, Paul Oxborough, Alex Ross, Anthony J. Ryder, Dolfi Stoki, William Stout, Dan Thompson, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo, Scott Waddell, and Jamie Wyeth, Star Wars: Visions is a breakthrough tribute to the worldwide inspiration that is Star Wars.


Praise for Star Wars Art: Visions:

"Star Wars Art: Visions . . . acknowledges what fans have felt all along. They don't want to be mere spectators, but involved in the storytelling too."
 -Los Angeles Times

5.0 out of 5 stars Not concept art, but as good Oct 22 2010
By Parka HALL OF FAME TOP 10 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
Length: 0:53 Mins
This isn't the concept art book I imagined or was expecting. This isn't a concept art book at all.

Star Wars Art: Visions is more of a fan art book, except the 'fans' here are some of the best illustrators around. Think Moebius, Alex Ross, Syd Mead, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo, H.R. Giger, Peter de Seve and James Christensen. There are 93 guest artists in all. Wow!

George Lucas has invited all these fine artists to create art for Star Wars, in their own style and interpretation. You'll see art from all sorts of styles, ranging from impressionist to manga to Picasso, punk(?), collage and more.

The book itself is huge, and the prints are large. You can see the details of the brush strokes and all. And most of the paintings are created traditionally.

The subjects are pretty cool, especially the more different ones like Kermit the Frog fishing with Yoda (from Peter de Seve), or the manga Leia which looks like she's from an alternate universe, or (gasp!) a nude Aayla.

This is a great collection of quality art. Easily recommended to any Star Wars fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Art rekindles the love for Star Wars Dec 26 2010
By bulog
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Having been a huge fan of Star Wars growing up, and especially of collected artwork used for creating the original films, I am one of those fans who sought out artwork based on star wars from any angle; from comics to novels to video games to online fan art. This book, Star Wars Art: Visions, just might be the best collected editions of artwork ever compiled for the universe created by George Lucas. I love work created for the films by Ralph McQuarrie, Nilo Rodis-Jamero, Joe Johston, Ian McCaig and Ryan Churchill, but you won't find a single piece of that here. All of the artwork created for this 'exhibition' are by contemporary artists who have other striking works hanging up in fine art museums and galleries around the world, and their love for the universe permeates with each brush stroke! Its like a project my art teacher had us do in grade 10 when we studied animation. Start with a line and go from there, and he got 15 different short animated films.

Some of my favorites in this book are by artists who I have never heard of before, even though one of my all time favorites, Alex Ross, has a stunning painting here, is beautifully displayed in the book. Thats another brilliant thing about this book, its got the artwork perfectly captured for you to sit and appreciate the work put into it, to grasp the talent behind the brush, and to just sit and stare in awe at it like you would at the Tate Gallery in London.

This is one of the best Film Art books I have ever had the pleasure of purchasing and definitely one of the most enjoyable book experiences I constantly revisit.

Format:Hardcover
Le livre a de belles images, mais justement, ce ne sont que des images. Il n'y a pas vraiment de texte.
