This beautiful, fully illustrated book presents a compendium of
artworks throughout history which have been inspired by myth,
fantasy and the unreal. Artists have explored imaginary worlds and
fantastical creatures for centuries, expressing the unreal and
impossible, the mystical and mythical, via the medium of paint. But
what draws them to the imaginary, the uncharted and the unknown? Is
it merely an escape from reality? Or are they seeking a greater
understanding of the human experience, or perhaps the very meaning
of life itself? With myriad styles and methods of expression, what
links artists through the ages? And how have these visual flights
of fancy and imagination changed over the course of time? The Art
of Fantasy is a visual sourcebook of all that is fantastical –
from fine art to illustration, and from surrealists and symbolists
to the creatives working in undefined territories. While the
artists in our history books (Blake, Goya, Dali, Magritte, Ernst)
first brought fantasy art to the galleries, it was the twentieth
century artists who brought it to the masses. It is in this book
that, for the first time, they are united and equally weighted,
presenting a mesmerising and thoughtful curation of the best
fantasy artwork out there. This is an inspiring collection for fans
of myth, magic, fantasy and art history.
