內容簡介

內容簡介 【40周年紀念版】H·R·吉格爾 作品集瑞士超現實主義畫家、雕塑家 以設計電影《異形》中的外星生物、而榮獲奧斯卡獎最佳視覺效果獎肯定的H·R·吉格爾(1940-2014)之作品集。彷彿是從未來穿越而至的神話，卻是出自40多年前、70年代的藝術家之手--本書鉅細靡遺地介紹「異形」的設計推手、瑞士超現實主義畫家暨雕塑家H.R. Giger，爬梳並呈現他生前大量設計手稿，將Giger的異想世界完整收錄！Mythologies for the FutureThe powerful world of HR Giger“At its essence, Giger’s art digs down into our psyches and touches our very deepest primal instincts and fears. His art stands in a category of its own. The proof of this lies in the intensity of his work and imagination, which I can only compare to Hieronymus Bosch and Francis Bacon in their powers to provoke and disturb.” —Ridley ScottSwiss artist HR Giger (1940–2014) is most famous for his creation of the space monster in Ridley Scott’s 1979 horror sci-fi film Alien, which earned him an Oscar. Yet this was just one of the most popular expressions of Giger’s biomechanical arsenal of creatures, which consistently merged hybrids of human and machine into images of haunting power and dark psychedelia. The visions drew on demons of the past, as well as evoking mythologies for the future. Above all, they gave expression to the collective fears and fantasies of his age: fear of the atom, of pollution and wasted resources, and of a future in which our bodies depend on machines for survival.Following the SUMO-sized monograph which was begun shortly before the artist's unexpected death, this affordable anniversay edition pays homage to Giger’s unique vision. The book shows the complete story of Giger’s life and art, his sculptures, film design, and iconic album covers as well as the heritage he left us in his own artist’s museum and self-designed bar in the Swiss Alps. In an in-depth essay, Giger scholar Andreas J. Hirsch plunges into the themes of the artist’s oeuvre while an extensive biography draws on contemporary quotes and Giger’s own statements.About the seriesTASCHEN is 40!
