Drew Struzan is the best-kept secret in Hollywood. Over the last thirty years, he's created many of Hollywood's most memorable posters. His art touched generations of filmgoers with unforgettable images for The Star Wars Trilogy, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, The Phantom Menace, Bladerunner, First Blood, The Thing, Back to the Future I - III, Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone, and hundreds more. Finally, these posters, in addition to paintings from Drew's private collection, several limited edition works, book and album covers and more have been collected into one stunning full color volume, Drew Struzan: Oeuvre. Authors Jessie and Amy Horsting examine the unique forces shaping Struzan's career, his rise as an illustrator, and the perseverance required to succeed and thrive in a notoriously fickle industry. Featuring a foreword by George Lucas, the book also focuses on the history of some ground-breaking posters, relates a few celebrity encounters, and offers commentary from Harrison Ford, Frank Darabont, Alice Cooper, Robert Zemekis, Jim Henson, and many others who have had close encounters with this giant talent.
