Frank Frazetta BOOK 2
Edited by Betty Ballantine

* Language: English

RARE AND OUT OF PRINT!

Paperback Publisher: Peacock Press / Bantam Books (1977 2nd printing)
Frank Frazetta (born 1928) is an American fantasy and science fiction artist. He is one of the most emulated artists of these genres in the world. His cover for the sword-and-sorcery collection Conan the Adventurer by Robert E. Howard and L. Sprague de Camp (Lancer 1966) caused a sensation—numerous people bought the book for its cover alone. This interpretation of Conan essentially redefined the genre of Sword and Sorcery visually and had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of artists. From this point on, Frazetta's work was in great demand. During this period he also did covers for other paperback editions of classic Edgar Rice Burroughs books, such as those from the Tarzan and Barsoom (John Carter of Mars) series. He also did several pen and ink illustrations for many of these books.

* Featuring mostly colour reproductions of many of the famous paintings by probably the best fantasy artist ever.
* Included are many paintings which were featured on the covers of the WARREN horror magazines CREEPY, EERIE and VAMPIRELLA, and also on the paperback versions of the Robert E. Howard CONAN books.

Frazetta's work has graced album covers and book jackets. In this second volume you'll see some of his finest. His techniques for drawing your attention to primary and secondary points of interest in his works are done beautifully like a photographer uses light. His works are lush and sensual, celebrating the human anatomy like the ancient Greeks. The facial expressions of his subjects convey intensity, strength, and will. You can actually feel the energy jumping out at you.

The Frazetta Pillow Book provided a surprising glimpse of a more whimsical (if no less sensual) side to the artist. Filled with a charming selection of nude gnomes, fairies, and nymphs, the book showcased Frazetta's proficient skill with watercolor. "nearly all the paintings were done as gifts to me or for family," Ellie Frazetta explains. "They show the playful, fun-loving side of Frank I have known all my grown-up life.

A must for any Frazetta or fantasy art fan. This book is a prime example of Franks amazing abilitiy to take the viewer into a world of raw fantasy. The themes and compositions are second to none and illustrated in a dynamic creative conciousness only Frazetta could deliver.

Frank Frazetta is hands down the greatest and most influential painter in the realm of fantast art. This collection contains a fresher softer side of Franks work in a friendlier setting than we are used to seeing. It is a beautiful book and another great acomplishment by the Grand Master!

Pleasant watercolour paintings of people and gnomes and elves enjoying themselves unselfconsciously.
