Must have been one of the last people on the planet not to have seen Avatar. Saw it for the first time a couple of days ago. Immediately thought of Yessongs and the artwork of Roger Dean. Quite amazing to see Deans imagery turned into a movie. Hopefuly it wont be a long drawn out court case.

I would like to agree with the contributor who mentions the painting by Renee Magritte, “Le Chateau des Pyrenees”, As far as I’m concerned, it is the ‘origional’ of the flying island/mountain idea.It has a great deal more feeling and meaning than any of the fantasy versions and ’spin offs’ by artists such as Mr Dean and others, since it appears to be a response to the Cathar castles of the Languedoc. No one could visit that area and not be deeply moved by the history of the Cathars, who lead intensely spiritual lives but were eventualy destroyed for political reasons.

As an artist a Yes fan, and someone who enjoyed Avatar, I too believe Mr. Dean deserves full credit in some huge Artistic capacity. He was not the Art Director (but thinking back to his book Views he could easily have pulled the films’ team together). I’ve gotten credit on major films for a tiny sculpture or two and Roger Dean gets no credit for his obvious contributions?? I think that credit + a verbal thanks from the film-makers aknowledging his work would mean more to him than a check from the studio. But I’m not the one they should be asking eh?

I don’t see any significant similarity between Dean’s work and Avatar visual style. Green leaves, blue sky and fantastic flying creatures (DIFFERENT fantastic flying creatures!) ain’t enough to support such claims.

Its not the first time that James Cameron has upset artists, HR Giger wasnt Happy with how Cameron used his Alien designs in Aliens & how he was mentioned in the closing credits with the ‘original Alien design by’ tag when the look of the movie used the ‘Giger look’ ripped off from Alien, just a pity Giger chose to work on Poltergiest 2 instead, still Giger didnt throw a wobbly,id love to see the ulimate Giger Movie though!
