THE FIRST COLLECTION OF ROGER DEAN'S WORK IN 25 YEARS
The long-awaited sequel to Views and Magnetic Storm
The first two volumes chronicling the unique art and design or Roger Dean met with huge critical and popular success. Views (1975) went straight to number one in The Sunday Times best-seller list and went on to sell over a million copies. Magnetic Storm (1984) in turn sold over 650,000 copies.
Dragon's Dream is Roger Dean's long-awaited third book. Conceived as a panoramic dreamscape, this inspirational book for his fans, artists and designers encompasses album covers, logos, paintings, stage designs, opera sets and costumes, furniture, architecture, images for computer games and concepts and visuals for films. Dean’s fantastic and visionary concepts for architectural designs range from earth-sheltered houses to a Malaysian Park.
"To tour through the pages of his remarkable career is to revel in the sheer joy of travelling down cosmic corridors of ebullient beauty, ethereal grandeur, and fantastic invention. There is a master at work here." – Syd Mead
"His unique style, unparalleled skill, and stunning imagination, combined with a pure natural talent, have made him a twentieth and twenty-first Century icon in the world of art. You can add to this his phenomenal success with sojourns into the world of architecture and design." – Rick Wakeman
