A new paperback edition of the only book to date to comprehensively document the art that HR Giger created before the Academy Award-winning creatures and environments for Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Alien.
The only book to date to study HR Gigers art before his legendary work in Ridley Scotts Alien.
Swiss surrealist artist HR Giger (19402014) was catapulted to international fame in 1979 for designing the inimitable creatures and otherworldly environments that terrified moviegoers who watched Ridley Scotts Alien. Yet before these iconic creations made him a Hollywood celebrity, 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 only book to date to document the artists lesser-known work.
The new edition of this richly illustrated book traces Gigers career from his education to the development of his drawing and painting technique to his eventual breakthrough as one of the foremost artists of the fantastic realism school. Featuring unpublished or rarely available early paintings and drawings accompanied by an essay by art historian Beat Stutzer, this volume also sets Gigers paintings side by side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.
