·内容简介——

一本研究 HR Giger 在雷德利·斯科特执导的《异形》传奇作品之前的艺术作品的书。

瑞士超现实主义艺术家 HR Giger（1940-2014）于 1979 年因设计了令观看雷德利·斯科特执导的《异形》的电影观众感到恐惧的独特生物和超凡脱俗的环境而享誉国际。然而，在这些标志性的创作使他成为好莱坞名人之前，吉格尔已经因其独特的绘画风格和生物力学的梦幻景观而在国际艺术界享有很高的声誉。 HR Giger：《外星人之前的作品》是一本记录这位艺术家鲜为人知的作品的书。

这本插图丰富的书的新版本追溯了吉格尔的职业生涯，从他的教育到他的绘画技巧的发展，再到他最终成为奇幻现实主义流派重要的艺术家之一。本书收录了未出版或很少见的早期绘画和素描，并附有艺术史学家 Beat Stutzer 的文章，还将吉格尔的绘画与戈雅、恩索尔和皮拉内西等前辈的绘画并列。 HR吉格尔：外星人之前的作品照亮了一位视觉天才的思想，他的一次艺术实验比他们的时代早了几十年。

The book to study HR Giger’s art before his legendary work in Ridley Scott’s Alien.

Swiss surrealist artist HR Giger (1940–2014) was catapulted to international fame in 1979 for designing the inimitable creatures and otherworldly environments that terrified moviegoers who watched Ridley Scott’s Alien. Yet before these iconic creations made him a Hollywood celebrity, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world for his unique painting style and biomechanical dreamscapes. HR Giger:The Oeuvre Before Alien is the book to document the artist’s lesser-known work.

The new edition of this richly illustrated book traces Giger’s career from his education to the development of his drawing and painting technique to his eventual breakthrough as one of the foremost artists of the fantastic realism school. Featuring unpublished or rarely available early paintings and drawings accompanied by an essay by art historian Beat Stutzer, this volume also sets Giger’s paintings side by side with predecessors such as Goya, Ensor, and Piranesi. HR Giger: The Oeuvre Before Alien illuminates the mind of a visual genius whose first artistic experiments were decades before their time.
