Drew Struzan was honoured with the Saul Bass Award at The Hollywood Reporter's Key Art Awards which was held on October 23rd at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
"Drew manages to embody not only the film narrative in the poster but the actual magic of going to the movies," says Guillermo del Toro, echoing the sentiment of the scores of filmmakers who have benefited from Struzan's artistry over the years. "He encapsulates both an era and an experience."Read more at THR
Like all true artists, Struzan knew his calling the moment he picked up a brush -- although his parents were hardly encouraging while he was growing up in Oregon and California. They gave him "no support, no understanding," he says. But he found comfort in art. And, in 1965, at the age of 18, he was accepted into Los Angeles' Art Center College of Design. "I fell into the entertainment industry because I went to school here," he says. "It didn't matter what I painted, I just wanted to paint."
