Drew Struzan (1947 - 2025)
-
He was Steven Spielberg’s favourite poster artist and George Lucas calls him ‘one of the best’. A giant in movie poster illustration, Struzan was responsible for iconic graphics for all the Star Wars films, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Harry Potter and more.

Struzan studied at the Art Center College of Design. When faced with the choice between fine art and illustration, he declared, ‘I’ll be an illustrator ... I need to eat!’ His professional career began at Pacific Eye & Ear studio under Ernie Cefalu, designing album artwork for artists from The Beach Boys to Bach. Struzan then launched his own company, Pencil Pushers, with a friend who had contacts in the movie industry. The next eight years saw him refine his style, become proficient in airbrushing and build a reputation as an artist of considerable note within the industry. In 1977, he created the ‘Style D’ poster for Star Wars with Charles White III, which was the start of a close creative collaboration with Lucas. Struzan also created the logo for Lucas’s company, Industrial Light & Magic. In recent years, he had broadened his scope to include limited edition prints, exhibitions and books.

Painters and Painting

2025 marks 250 years since the birth of JMW Turner -the great 19th century landscape artist, whose expressive, atmospheric paintings transformed British art. His life and genius was also unforgettably brought to the screen in Mike Leigh’s 2014 film Mr Turner, starring Timothy Spall. Ellen E Jones () and Mark Kermode look at the long relationship between cinema and painting.

Mark speaks to cultural historian Professor Sir Christopher Frayling on Hollywood’s approach to the history of art, from Kirk Douglas as Van Gogh to Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo. He then talks to actor Timothy Spall on how playing JMW Turner led to a parallel career as a painter.

Ellen explores the relationship between painting and cinematography with cinematographer Sir Roger Deakins. She also speaks to artist Cathy Lomax on the painterly in cinema - and the cinematic in painting.

The Hollywood History of Art by Christopher Frayling
-
Ever since the dawn of the sound era, Hollywood studios have been producing spectacular feature films about the lives and achievements of the great visual artists, with a cast of characters including Charles Laughton as Rembrandt, Kirk Douglas as van Gogh, Charlton Heston as Michelangelo and Salma Hayek as Frida Kahlo. The results - usually dismissed out of hand by art historians and curators - can tell us a surprising amount about the changing public image of the artist and about how art has entered the cultural bloodstream of modern Western societies.
-
Join award-winning historian Christopher Frayling for this colourful illustrated talk on the cinematic portrayal of artists from Cellini to Kahlo and more in all its fascinating glory.

The talk will be followed by book sales and signing.
