Acclaimed monograph on the World's most famous monster portrait artist
Acclaimed monograph on the World's most famous monster portrait artist.
Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos showcases the work of Basil Gogos, who transformed classic horror with his film monster portrait art. Like a bizarro-world Norman Rockwell, Gogos created magazine covers featuring Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the Phantom of the Opera, and countless others. These subjects were rendered in horrifying yet dazzling images throughout the 1960s and '70s.
His intense colour and bold, impressionistic brushwork imparted a unique sense of drama and sophistication to these iconic characters. Today, collectors vie for his original art, but with Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos, every fan can own glowing full-colour reproductions of his most famous work. The book also includes many previously unpublished paintings and drawings.
