Items related to The Definitive SF Works of Chris Foss (Special Edition)
Foss's groundbreaking and distinctive science fiction art revolutionized paperback covers in the 70s and 80s. Dramatically raising the bar for realism and invention, his trademark battle-weary spacecraft, dramatic alien landscapes and crumbling brutalist architecture irrevocably changed the aesthetic of science fiction art and cinema. Featuring work for books by Isaac Asimov, E. E. 'Doc' Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. Van Vogt and Philip K. Dick, and film design for Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick, this volume brings together many rare and classic images that have never been seen or reprinted before. The first comprehensive retrospective of Chris Foss' sf career. "Chris Foss' name has become pre-eminent among sf artists. He is in love with the monstrous, with angular momentum, with inertia-free projectiles and irresistable objects. " - Brian Aldiss "[Foss'] creations are real machines, not just an artist's dreams. They combine the two elements so essential to science fiction: realism and a sense of wonder. A medieval goldsmith of future eons." - Alejandro Jodorowsky. Rian Hughes is an award-winning graphic designer, illustrator, font designer and comics artist, noted for his work on 2000AD, and Dan Dare.
