About the Author

Laurent Durieux was born in 1970 in Belgium. Heโ€™s spent two decades as a designer and teacher, and then the 49-year-old Brussels illustrator and graphic artist became a star in the US thanks to a number of high-profile awards and marquee commissions, including a 2013 screenprint of Jaws, which caught the eye of the filmโ€™s director, Steven Spielberg. Durieux was named one of the worldโ€™s 200 Best Illustrators by the influential international advertising magazine Luยจrzerโ€™s Archive in 2011. Durieuxโ€™s posters can be found in several prestigious cinema related institutions such as the Oscar Museum in Hollywood and the Cinรฉmathรจque Franรงaise in Paris, France, as well as in many worldwide private collections.
