Legendary movie poster artist Drew Struzan passed away yesterday, October 13, at the age of 78.
“It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that Drew Struzan has moved on from this world as of yesterday,” noted a message on Struzan’s social media. “I feel it is important that you all know how many times he expressed to me the joy he felt knowing how much you appreciated his art.”
Struzan painted indelible posters for over 150 films, including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Back to the Future, Harry Potter, Blade Runner, E.T., The Goonies, First Blood, and The Shawshank Redemption.
He also created iconic artwork for many genre films, 15 of which I’ve highlighted below.
