"Struzan's blend of photorealism and painterly flourish brought a unique aesthetic to memorable movie art, a medium that seems all but lost in today's overly slick movie marketing. With Struzan's art, you could tell you were looking at a painting, which was the point. He seamlessly bridged memorable movie moments and transformed those concepts into stills that felt dynamic and alive."
"Struzan's connection with the Indiana Jones franchise began with the 1984 film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. From that point, he did the posters for The Last Crusade in 1989 and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008. You can buy prints of Drew Struzan's Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade posters on FilmArtGallery.com. You can buy prints of the Temple of Doom poster on eBay and elsewhere. Prints of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull are on Galactic Gallery."
Drew Struzan died at 78 after a diagnosis of Alzheimer's and created iconic posters for Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, and Star Wars Special Editions. His work combined photorealism and painterly flourish so images read as paintings and conveyed dynamic, memorable film moments. His aesthetic defined 1980s movie marketing and remained influential into the 1990s and beyond. High-quality prints and archives of his work are available on DrewStruzan.com and FilmArtGallery, with additional prints listed on eBay and Galactic Gallery for specific titles like Temple of Doom and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
