Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - HR Giger (1940-2014) remains one of the outstanding figures in Swiss art and design history. He achieved international fame in 1979 for designing the fantastic creatures and eerie environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott's science fiction film Alien. Yet, before these iconic creations made him a celebrity and won him an Academy Award for visual effects, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world of the 1960s and 1970s, for taking one of the most independent positions in the succession of Surrealism. First published in 2007, this only book to date on HR Giger's early work features a comprehensive collection of his drawings, early airbrush paintings, and designs for oppressive environments. It examines Giger's art from its origins and places it in an art history of horror. Most of the works shown in this volume are only rarely on public display. Here they are presented in dialogue with works by distinguished precursors such as Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco de Goya, Henry Fuseli, Max Klinger, and James Ensor.; HR Giger (1940-2014) ist eine der herausragenden Figuren der Schweizer Kunst- und Designgeschichte. Weltruhm erlangte er 1979 mit dem Monster und den speziellen Raumatmosphären für Ridley Scotts Science-Fiction-Klassiker Alien, für die er mit einem Oscar ausgezeichnet wurde und die bis heute zahllose Menschen faszinieren. Nach wie vor weit weniger bekannt ist, dass Giger bereits davor ein Shootingstar der europäischen Kunstszene war, der mit seinem Phantastischen Realismus eine der eigenständigsten Positionen in der Nachfolge des Surrealismus und in der Kunstszene der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre einnahm. 2007 erstmals erschienen, präsentiert dieses bislang einzige Buch zu HR Gigers Frühwerk dessen Zeichnungen, die ersten Airbrush-Bilder und beklemmenden Environments umfassend. Es untersucht sein Schaffen von den Ursprüngen her und ordnet es in eine Kunstgeschichte des Grauens ein. Die meisten in dem englischsprachigen Band abgebildeten Werke sind kaum je öffentlich zu sehen. Hier werden sie im Dialog mit Arbeiten von bedeutenden Vorläufern wie Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco de Goya, Johann Heinrich Füssli, Max Klinger oder James Ensor gezeigt.…

Zustand: Very good. First Edition. 22 x 28cm 168pp very good hardback, top right corner slightly bumped, in near fine dust jacket, accompanied by a leaflet from the Museum HR Giger in Zurich. Rich with colour plus black and white reproductions showing the Swiss surrealist artist's extravagant imagination. HR Giger was catapulted to international fame in 1979 for designing the inimitable creatures and otherworldly environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott s science fiction film Alien. Yet before these iconic creations made him a Hollywood celebrity and won him an Academy Award for visual effects, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world for his unique painting style and biomechanical dreamscapes. HR. Giger The Oeuvre Before Alien is the first book to document the artist s lesser-known, but no less impressive, early work. This sumptuously illustrated volume traces Giger s career from his education as an architect and industrial designer in Z rich to the development of his ink drawing and oil painting technique and his eventual breakthrough as one of the foremost artists of the fantastic realism school. These youthful works formed the groundwork for the artist s later drawings that earned the esteem of the design industry, the adoration of sci-fi aficionados, and a firm place in the twentieth-century pop culture canon. Featuring many unpublished or rarely available early paintings and drawings and accompanied by an essay by noted art historian Beat Stutzer, this volume also sets Giger s paintings side by side with predecessors such as Goya, Ensor, and Piranesi. HR Giger - The Oeuvre Before Alien illuminates the mind of a visual genius whose first artistic experiments were decades before their time.…
