Masterpieces of Fantasy Art - 40th Edition

Fantasy art, that colorful blend of myth, muscle and sexy maidens, took off in 1923 with the launch of Weird Tales magazine, was reinvigorated in the 1960s with The Lord of the Rings, Conan the Barbarian paperbacks with Frank Frazetta covers, and the late ’60s emergence of fantasy psychedelia.

This book features original paintings, contextualized by preparatory sketches, sculptures, magazines, and paperback books, for an immersive dive into this dynamic, fanciful genre. Insightful bios give an eye-opening look into the life of each artist. This collection will reign as the most exquisite and informative guide to this popular subject for years to come.
