Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie

Description

Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie is a comprehensive tribute to cinema’s most
beloved and influential concept artist—presented in this two-hardcover-volume,
slipcased gift set. Ralph McQuarrie is the most iconic artist in the history
of Star Wars. He worked hand in hand with George Lucas to help establish the
saga’s visual aesthetic, its inimitable look and feel. Beyond designing Darth
Vader, C-3PO, and R2-D2, McQuarrie produced hundreds of pieces of Star Wars
artwork, including conceptual paintings, costume designs, storyboards, and
matte paintings, as well as posters, book covers, and album covers—even
Lucasfilm’s annual holiday cards—all rescanned and rephotographed for this
book. Compiled by Brandon Alinger, Wade Lageose, and Emmy Award–winning writer
David Mandel, Star Wars Art: Ralph McQuarrie shares the most definitive
collection of the artist’s Star Wars work ever assembled, including hundreds
of never-before-seen illustrations. Rare unpublished interviews, as well as
recollections from McQuarrie’s colleagues and friends, complement and
contextualize the art. “The galaxy far, far away will seem a lot closer once
you have this collection on your coffee table.” —Variety Read more
