Star Wars Art: Visions (Star Wars Art Series)

The media could not be loaded. This isn't the concept art book I imagined or was expecting. This isn't a concept art book at all.Star Wars Art: Visions is more of a fan art book, except the 'fans' here are some of the best illustrators around. Think Moebius, Alex Ross, Syd Mead, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo, H.R. Giger, Peter de Seve and James Christensen. There are 93 guest artists in all. Wow!George Lucas has invited all these fine artists to create art for Star Wars, in their own style and interpretation. You'll see art from all sorts of styles, ranging from impressionist to manga to Picasso, punk(?), collage and more.The book itself is huge, and the prints are large. You can see the details of the brush strokes and all. And most of the paintings are created traditionally.The subjects are pretty cool, especially the more different ones like Kermit the Frog fishing with Yoda (from Peter de Seve), or the manga Leia which looks like she's from an alternate universe, or (gasp!) a nude Aayla.This is a great collection of quality art. Easily recommended to any Star Wars fan.(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

I got copies for two of my closest friends, one of which is a huge Star Wars fan and general film enthusiast, and the other is a mid-level Star Wars fan and general art enthusiast, and they both loved the book.It is sorta ill-mannered on my part, but I read through one of the copies before I gave them to my buddies on Christmas, and man, was I impressed. There are some beautiful pieces featured in this book.I may have to find more time to hang out with my friends and check out their copies again!

There are some fantastic paintings in here. Others aren't all too great, in my opinion. But overall this volume is a worthy celebration of Star Wars, and makes for a purchase most Star Wars fans would be very happy with. I'm already looking forwards to a "Visions II". There are certainly many more artists out there I think could featured in this sort of project. For instance I'd love to see what a Mike Mignola Darth Vader would look like. Also found it odd that nothing from Adam Hughes is in this.

This is a book that is a must own for all Star Wars fans, particularly one who enjoys its vast history. The book is a collection of art from a collection of many fantastic artists that give their own interpretations of characters/places. If you can find a few of the photos that are inside the book, you'll understand immediately why it is a must own. Every page is a visual delight to look at, and would look great on your wall if they were to every release the pictures as posters.

The cover sleeve had a one-inch tear near the bottom right corner which was really upsetting. That being said, the art within is gorgeous.

A genuine piece of splendour! Luxury format, quality of the envelope and the paper. The versatility of the artists, Impressionismus, Pop Art, Cartoon, designer, hyperrealism... And the best comes still with the five Giclée prints (high-dissolved pressures on ink jet printers with light-genuine coloring material - ink), handmarked from the respective artists such as Alex Ross and Moebius! limited world-wide on only 500 copy.. star Wars visions

Love the book. A friend of min had one of his paintings included.You do have to realize that these are artists' visions, and not actual scenes from any movie(s), but its still a great book to own and look through.

good book to own for those star wars fans or artist who would like to know where their ideas come from good read and for reference information

An enjoyable book to look though. High quality pages and has a lot of prints and artist information. If you are a fan of art and Starwars you would appreciate it. However these are artists interrelations of the Star Wars universe and not concept or film art.

Una muy buena compra si eres fan de la saga, tamaño muy grande y muchísimos artistas que participan con sus ilustraciones, el único pero que le puedo poner es que no vino tan protegido como otros libros que he pedido por Amazon pero llego sin ningún detalle y en perfectas condiciones, compra recomendada!

Acquisto usato in ottime condizioni - art Book bellissimo antologia di opere d'arte ispirate all'Universo Star Wars (nota bene, visto il medesimo titolo, da non confondere con la serie animata antologica Star Wars Visions su Disney Plus, che raccoglie libere interpretazioni di Star Wars da parte dei principali studi Anime giapponesi, per cui anche dovrebbe esistere Art Book dedicato nella collana Art Of...)

Maravilloso libro con unas estupendas fotos

Este livro é uma espécie de coletânea de diversos artistas (não contei mas acho que deve ser em torno de 100) que interpretam ou fazem alguma releitura de Star Wars. É um livro que vale ser lido e visto com calma, para poder apreciar as belas artes contidas nele.Este livro é maravilhoso! As imagens estão em alta qualidade, e em algumas dessas imagens estão destacados alguns detalhes para você poder ver tudo ainda mais de perto, como detalhes da pintura, pincel, e até mesmo o tipo de material em que foi desenhado (a maioria você verá que é pintura à oleo mesmo!). Se você gosta de arte, pinturas... você precisa ter esse livro em sua coleção. Se você é fã de Star Wars (como eu) você precisa MESMO ter esse livro em sua estante. Altamente recomendado!
