in the field of cinema posters, with private
collections owned by George Lucas, Steven Spielberg
and Disney Chairman Michael Eisner. With over twenty-five

and the Temple of Doom, Indiana Jones and the
Last Crusade, Back to the Future I, II, III, the

After graduating with honors from the prestigious Art Center of Design, Drew first gained his reputation back in the 70's illustrating album covers such as Alice Cooper's "Welcome to my Nightmare" voted one of the top 100 Album covers of all time by Rolling Stone Magazine, and got notice by the movie industries. Over the following eight years Drew Struzan developed his now-famous style of One Sheet poster art, which includes such memorable works as The Seven-Per-Cent Solution, First Blood, Return of the Jedi and the international campaign for Raiders of the Lost Ark. In 1982, Drew embarked on a solo career that has earned him continuing accolades and increasing recognition as one of the most recognized masters of the Cinema Art medium today. In 1995-1997, Drew's art was exhibited in a series
of One Man Shows throughout Japan, accompanied by
a highly limited edition program based on his One
Sheet art for Lucas and Spielberg movies. In 1999,
the Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge ( Massachusetts ) featured
an exhibit of over sixty-five pieces of his work,
entitled "Drew: Art
of the Cinema". Drew's
collectable work is held in similar high esteem and along side such
American art masters as Norman Rockwell, Maxfield Parrish, and J.C. Leyendecker. |
