Drew Struzan: Oeuvre
Drew's work still appears in movie theater displays, but how long will his paintings appear in movies because most movie art and design is now created digitally?

Luke and Lea concept before the original Star Wars posters, Drew Struzan
About his career, Struzan has said: "I was poor and hungry, and illustration was the shortest path to a slice of bread, as compared to a gallery showing. I had nothing as a child. I drew on toilet paper with pencils – that was the only paper around. Probably why I love drawing so much today is because it was just all I had at the time.

Portrait of a Young Man, from the incredible painter and architect, Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino better known simply as Raphael ;)
The Giustiniani family purchased it between 1799-1801 by Adam Jerzy Czartoryski. It was lost during the World War II, and its last location was: Czartoryski Museum, Kraków, Poland. The original was stolen by Nazi-German authorities (Hans Frank) in 1939 and it was never returned to the Polish possessor.

Albrecht Dürer, woodcut, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse
When the 27-year-old Dürer published the text of the Book of Revelation with 15 woodcut illustrations, he realized a three-fold ambition. He secured for himself a new source of income, transformed the appearance of the illustrated printed book, and found an outlet for his religious imagination. The Four Horsemen demonstrates how complete was his success.
