Hardware: The Definitive SF Works of Chris Foss
- Used Book in Good Condition
Fossâ€™s groundbreaking and distinctive science ï¬ction art revolutionized paperback covers in the 1970s and 80s. Â Dramatically raising the bar for realism and invention, his trademark battle-weary spacecraft, dramatic alien landscapes and crumbling brutalist architecture irrevocably changed the aesthetic of science ï¬ction art and cinema.

Featuring work for books by Isaac Asimov, E. E. â€˜Docâ€™ Smith, Arthur C. Clarke, A. E. Van Vogt and Philip K. Dick, and ï¬lm design for Ridley Scott and Stanley Kubrick, this volume brings together many rare and classic images that have never been seen or reprinted before. The ï¬rst comprehensive retrospective of Chris Fossâ€™s SF career.

â€œChris Fossâ€™ name has become pre-eminent among sf artists... He is in love with the monstrous, with angular momentum, with inertia-free projectiles and irresistable objects.â€ â€” Brian Aldiss

â€œ[Fossâ€™] creations are real machines, not just an artistâ€™s dreams. They combine the two elements so essential to science ï¬ction: realism and a sense of wonder... A medieval goldsmith of future eons.â€ â€” Alejandro JodorowskyÂ
