Neuware -HR Giger (1940-2014) ist eine der herausragenden Figuren der Schweizer Kunst- und Designgeschichte. Weltruhm erlangte er 1979 mit dem Monster und den speziellen Raumatmosphären für Ridley Scotts Science-Fiction-Klassiker Alien, für die er mit einem Oscar ausgezeichnet wurde und die bis heute zahllose Menschen faszinieren. Nach wie vor weit weniger bekannt ist, dass Giger bereits davor ein Shootingstar der europäischen Kunstszene war, der mit seinem Phantastischen Realismus eine der eigenständigsten Positionen in der Nachfolge des Surrealismus und in der Kunstszene der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre einnahm. 2007 erstmals erschienen, präsentiert dieses bislang einzige Buch zu HR Gigers Frühwerk dessen Zeichnungen, die ersten Airbrush-Bilder und beklemmenden Environments umfassend. Es untersucht sein Schaffen von den Ursprüngen her und ordnet es in eine Kunstgeschichte des Grauens ein. Die meisten in dem englischsprachigen Band abgebildeten Werke sind kaum je öffentlich zu sehen. Hier werden sie im Dialog mit Arbeiten von bedeutenden Vorläufern wie Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco de Goya, Johann Heinrich Füssli, Max Klinger oder James Ensor gezeigt. 167 pp. Englisch.…

- New edition of the only book to date to comprehensively document the early work of celebrated Swiss artist HR Giger
- Features paintings and drawings by HR Giger that are rarely published or shown in public displays
- Academy Award-winner HR Giger is the creator of the legendary movie monster Alien and arguably the most distinguished representative of Fantastic Realism
Swiss surrealist artist HR Giger (1940–2014) achieved international fame in 1979 for designing the fantastic creatures and eerie environments that terrified moviegoers in Ridley Scott’s science fiction film Alien. Yet before these iconic creations made him a celebrity and won him an Oscar for visual effects, Giger was already highly regarded in the international art world for his unique freehand painting style and biomechanical dreamscapes.
HR Giger: The Oeuvre Before Alien 1961–1976, first published in 2007 and now becoming available again in a new edition, is the only book to date to document the artist’s lesser known, but no less impressive, early work. This lavishly illustrated volume traces Giger’s career from his education as an architect and industrial designer at the Zurich College of Art to the development of his ink drawing and oil painting technique and his eventual breakthrough as one of the foremost artists of the fantastic realism school. Featuring many unpublished or rarely available early paintings and drawings, and accompanied by an essay by noted art historian Beat Stutzer, this volume juxtaposes Giger’s paintings with works by his predecessors, including Ensor, Fuseli, Goya, and Piranesi.
HR Giger: The Oeuvre Before Alien illuminates the mind of a visual genius whose first artistic experiments were decades ahead of their time.
