The
Famous Monster Movie Art of Basil Gogos is a celebration of the career
of the acknowledged master of film monster portrait art. To many fans
of classic horror movies, the name Basil Gogos is as familiar as that
of Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi or Vincent Price. Gogos' paintings are as
iconic as his subjects. This long-overdue retrospective features
high-quality reproductions of many of his most famous paintings as well
as many previously unpublished paintings and drawings of classic film
creatures and actors. Gogos' early work in men's adventure magazine and
paperback book art will also be examined as well as his works in movie
posters and other areas. An in-depth career-spanning interview with the
artist will accompany the illustrations and tributes by other artists
and film professionals inspired by Gogos' powerful images. The book
will feature an introduction by rock star, movie director and horror
collector Rob Zombie.
