Ralph McQuarrie greatly influenced the design of Star Wars. I was lucky to get a gift of one of his original art books from the 70’s and then later when Denver Art Museum displayed his works alongside their Star Wars: The Power of Costumes I was excited to see this original painting.

Museum Monday is an every other week series about museum news, objects, and reviews.
