Dure semaine pour les amateurs de pop culture. Après le décès de l’extraordinaire compositeur James Horner, c’est au tour d’Earl Norem de nous quitter, à l’âge de 91 ans. Earl Norem, vous ne le connaissez peut-être pas de nom, mais vous connaissez surement son travail. C’est en effet l’auteur de quasiment toutes les illustrations des Maîtres de l’Univers (alias Masters of the Universe, MOTU pour les intimes) à ce jour. Un géant de la peinture, qui a su donner vie à l’univers SF-Fantasy de MOTU pour des millions d’enfants fans de Musclor, Skeletor, et toute leur bande qui parcouraient les contrées du monde d’Eternia. Earl Norem, c’est un vétéran de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, qui a notamment combattu les Allemands en Italie avant de revenir à ses pinceaux après le conflit dans les années 50 et 60, en illustrant notamment les couvertures de magazines pulps destinés aux hommes. Par la suite, il enchaîne les contrats et les couvertures pour Marvel, notamment sur Savage Sword of Conan, le Surfer d’Argent, les Quatre Fantastiques, la Planète des Singes, the Amazing Spider-Man, Transformers, Hulk… Son travail est riche, ses illustrations puissantes et dynamiques, comparables en certains points à l’autre monstre sacré de l’illustration, Frank Frazetta. Mais c’est réellement son oeuvre sur les MOTU qui laisse exploser tout son talent : il illustre les boîtes de jouets, les couvertures de magazines, les posters, les comics… L’univers de MOTU prend vie sous son pinceau, et les action figures de Musclor prennent alors une toute autre dimension. Adieu donc, cher Earl, puisse le pouvoir du Crâne Ancestral te donner la Force toute puissante dans l’autre monde comme tu as su nous l’offrir dans celui-ci !
Plus d’infos sur Earl Norem dans l’excellent papier de Joe Hume sur Rockyrama.
Hasard du calendrier, le art book des Maîtres de l’Univers sort dans quelques jours chez Huginn et Muninn, l’occasion de (re)découvrir son travail sur le sujet.
Hard week for us pop culture lovers. After the departure of music composer James Horner, artist Earl Norem left us at the age of 91. Earl Norem was the visual artist who designed mostly all the Masters of the Universe visuals and covers. A giant illustrator, who gave life to He-Man, Skeletor and all the inhabitants of Eternia for millions of kids in the world. He served in the US army during WW2, and fought the Germans in Italy before coming back to painting after the conflict. He designed dozens of covers for men pulp magazines, and then worked for Marvel, designing covers for Savage Sword of Conan, the Silver Surfer, the Fantastic Four, Planet of the Apes, the Amazing Spider-Man, Transformers, the Hulk… An incredible work, powerful, dynamic, a career not this far from the one of the authour illustration giant : Frank Frazetta. His work on MOTU included toys packaging, fan magazine covers, posters, comics… Our vision of MOTU comes from his work, simple as that. So long, dear Earl, thanks for your awesome work, and may the Power of Grayskull give you the power in the other life, the way you gave it to us in this one.
