Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos by Kerry Gammill

Basil Gogos changed the face of classic horror with his film monster portrait art. Like a bizarro-world Norman Rockwell, he created magazine covers of Frankenstein, the Creature from the Black Lagoon. the Phantom of the Opera, and countless others in horrifying yet dazzling images throughout the 1960s and '70s. His intense colour and bold, impressionistic brushwork gave a unique sense of drama and sophistication to these iconic characters. Today, collectors fight over his original art-but, with this book, every fan can own glowing full-colour reproductions of his most famous work as well as many previously unpublished paintings and drawings.
Kerry Gammill, an artist who specializes in Hollywood monster design, is the author of the perennial favourite Drawing Monsters and Heroes for Film and Comics J. David Spurlock, an illustrator and editor, has taught at the School of Visual Arts in New York.
