Discover, or return to, the world's greatest heroic fantasy artist,
Frank Frazetta in this landmark art collection entitled, Fantastic
Paintings of Frazetta. The New York Times said, "Frazetta helped
define fantasy heroes like Conan, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars
with signature images of strikingly fierce, hard-bodied heroes and
bosomy, callipygian damsels" Frazetta took the sex and violence of
the pulp fiction of his youth and added even more action, fantasy
and potency, but rendered with a panache seldom seen outside of
major works of Fine Art. Despite his fantastic subject matter, the
quality of Frazetta's work has not only drawn comparisons to the
most brilliant of illustrators, Maxfield Parrish, Frederic
Remington, Norman Rockwell, N.C. Wyeth but, even to the most
brilliant of fine artists including Rembrandt and Michelangelo and,
major Frazetta works sell for millions of dollars, breaking
numerous records. This innovator's work has not only inspired
generations of artists, but also movies and directors including the
Conan films, John Carter of Mars, the sensationally successful Lord
of the Rings trilogy, Robert Rodriguez' films including From Dusk
Till Dawn, Ralph Bakshi films, the epic, award-winning Game of
Thrones series, Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, Disney's animated
Tarzan films, Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now and George
Lucas' Star Wars series. The Forbes magazine article
Schwarzenegger's Sargent led with the line, "Which artist helped
make Arnold governor? Frank Frazetta, the Rembrandt of barbarians."
J. David Spurlock started crafting this book by reviving the
original million-selling 1970s mass market art book, Fantastic Art
of Frank Frazetta. But, he expanded and revised to include twice as
many images and, presents them at a much larger coffee-table book
size of 10.5 x 14.625"! The collection is brimming with both
classic and previously unpublished works of the subjects Frazetta
is best remembered for including barbarians, beasts, and buxom
beauties. Game of Thrones creator George R. R. Martin said, "Though
he bears only a passing resemblance to the Cimmerian as Robert E.
Howard described him, Frazetta's covers of the Conan paperback
collections became the definitive picture of the character... still
is." Schwarzenegger said, "I have not been intimidated that often
in my life. But when I looked at Frazetta's paintings, I tell you,
it was intimidating." Game of Thrones, Conan and Aquaman film star
Jason Momoa said, "I am a huge Frank Frazetta fan. Both of my
parents are painters, so I'd known Frazetta's paintings, that's
what I wanted to bring to life." See the revolutionary art that
helped inspire Schwarzenegger, Momoa, the Lord of the Rings films
and Game of Thrones: FRAZETTA!
