\n<\/p>\n

Struzan, the iconic movie poster artist who created the poster art for many popular films, has died. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer\u2019s disease several years ago and had retreated from public life.<\/p>\n

Once dubbed the \u201cone-sheet wonder,\u201d a go-to artist for Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who created the posters for films such as Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the special editions of the Star Wars movies, The Goonies, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone.<\/p>\n

Spielberg wrote: \u201cDrew made event art. His posters made many of our movies into destinations \u2026 and the memory of those movies and the age we were when we saw them always comes flashing back just by glancing at his iconic photorealistic imagery. In his own invented style, nobody drew like Drew.\u201d<\/p>\n

The OP recommends watching the 2013 documentary Drew: The Man Behind the Poster, about Struzan’s life and work.<\/p>\n
