It's been less than a year since the passing of Ralph McQuarrie, and the great people at The Art of Ralph McQuarrie (booth #1141) have some great things in store at Celebration VI for fans of his work.
Dreams and Visions Press is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of
Remembering Ralph McQuarrie: Dreamer and Visionary, a 48-page, full-color book featuring tributes from McQuarrie's colleagues and fans, rare photographs, and never before published artwork spanning his entire career.
Remembering Ralph McQuarrie will debut at Star Wars Celebration VI in Orlando, Florida, August 23-26, and will also be available through the
Dreams and Visions Press website beginning August 23rd.
We're thrilled to have assembled more than two dozen tributes from a wide range of contributors including those who worked with Ralph on the original
Star Wars trilogy (Phil Tippett, Jon Berg, Harrison Ellenshaw), those who Ralph directly inspired (Doug Chiang, Russell Chong), and more. Fans of Ralph's artwork will be amazed by the collection of rare artwork assembled, including: cel animations depicting the Apollo space program, rare book cover art, unseen storyboards from
The Empire Strikes Back, early concepts for the
Illustrated Star Wars Universe, and a selection of his concept paintings for Irvin Kershner's unfilmed
Forbidden Planet remake.
Remembering Ralph McQuarrie is a perfect complement to the previous Dreams and Visions Press volumes on the art of Ralph McQuarrie, and a fitting tribute to an artist whose legacy and impact will continue to be admired for decades to come.
