Fantasy art has been with us for centuries but it was during the 1970's that I became aware of it. With the burning curiosity peculiar to the teenage years I devoured fantasy art with a passion. My diet comprised of a mixture of book covers, magazine covers, LP covers, jigsaws and eventually whole books on art and artists. I have never lost my love of fantastic art and here are a few typical examples [found online] of my favourite artists.
Patrick Woodroffe
Rick Griffin
Brian Froud
Frank Frazetta
Roger Dean
Rodney Matthews
Chris Foss
Which artists do you like?
Mr.'s Foss and Frazetta are right at the top of my list.I'll gladly add Boris Vallejo and Basil Gogos.
ReplyDeleteAlways loved the covers to the "Hooded Swan" novels of Brian Stableford, painted by Angus McKie. Love the novels too.
ReplyDeleteFoss, Matthews, Woodroffe, Dean, McKie, but top of my list would be Tim White
