Description: The best writers in science fiction agree--Richard Powers's art was revolutionary and inspirational! "More than any individual author, Richard Powers showed the public that science fiction could be written by intelligent adults, for intelligent adults. His superior aesthetics, which still overshadow most rivals, were actually what started me reading modern sf...I have huge admiration for him and am delighted that his talent is again on splendid display!"--Michael Moorcock. "I think Richard Powers was one of the most original artists to enter the science-fiction field, which he shook up considerably...I am happy to see this collection of Richard Powers's outstanding work."--Sir Arthur C. Clarke. Credited with single-handedly revolutionizing the look of science fiction, Richard Powers' moodily imaginative and distinctive style, abounding with abstract and surrealist imagery, helped define the genre's coming of age. His career spanned over four decades, in which he produced jacket illustrations for more than 1,200 novels. Now widely regarded as the single most influential artist in the history of paperback illustration, Powers is also a figure of towering stature in American 20th-century fine art.
