Bostic Star Wars Art
October 29th, 2010 Comments Off
George Lucas drew upon the work of N. C. Wyeth and Norman Rockwell for his own visual inspiration and has now invited more than 100 well-known and promising artists to draw upon the entire Star Wars galaxy for inspiration. Among them is the Art Department’s Professor Alexander Bostic, whose Lando as a Boy is included in the new book, Star Wars Art: Visions.
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.
The book features 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.
