The Art Of Ralph McQuarrie

Posted By Dustin on February 8, 2007

The Art Of Ralph McQuarrie is scheduled to hit at Celebration IV, but with only 2,000 copies available it's sure to be one hot seller. You can place a pre-order now at ralphmcquarrie.com to get a jump on the availability. There's also a nice story about the book now up at Starwars.com where you can take a peek at what's inside. We've also got a sample page available, just click the thumbnail below!

Here's a small snippet from Starwars.com:

"When Star Wars blazed across movie screens for the first time nearly three decades ago, fans could hardly realize they were being introduced to iconography that would define movie magic and myth for a generation, and perhaps beyond. Leaving the theater with imaginations electrified, audiences found the real world a little livelier, recognizing a bit of Star Wars in the buildings, vehicles, and people around them. Could anyone ever look at a barrel-shaped vacuum cleaner again without thinking of Artoo? Or a classic Samurai helmet without instantly conjuring the signature silhouette of Darth Vader?

[ Celebrating The Art of Ralph McQuarrie ] Bridging the everyday world to that of a galaxy far, far away became the mission of illustrator Ralph McQuarrie, whose visionary concept paintings and designs so influenced the signature look of the saga that he is widely acknowledged as a founding father of the Star Wars aesthetic. This April, McQuarrie's contributions will be celebrated in a massive 400-page tome spanning an artistic career that includes technical aviation illustration, movie poster design, book cover art, matte painting, and cinematic concept design.

John Scoleri and Stan Stice, who were inspired to create the official Ralph McQuarrie website (ralphmcquarrie.com) after meeting the artist in 1996, have taken on the monumental task of compiling McQuarrie's entire body of work and selecting nearly 1,000 pieces to best represent his contribution to the arts. For author Scoleri, who worked closely with McQuarrie and book designer Stice on the project, the adventure was a labor of love."
