A BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING, abundantly illustrated history of fantasy art, from the Old Masters to the present..
$45, 256pgs, 9.5x11”
For hundreds of years, artists have been inspired by the imaginative potential of fantasy. Unlike science fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an impossible reality―a universe where dragons breathe fire, angels battle demons, and magicians weave spells. Published to coincide with a major exhibition organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum, this handsome volume reveals how artists have brought to life mythology, fables, and fairy tales.
The main text of Enchanted, by exhibition curator Jesse Kowalski, traces the emergence of the themes of fantasy in the world’s civilizations, and the development of fantasy illustration from the Old Masters to the Victorian fairy painters, to Golden Age illustrators like Howard Pyle and Arthur Rackham, to classic cover artists and more……Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, Anna Dittmann, Victo Ngai, Julie Bell, Michael Whelan, Norman Rockwell, Jeff easley, Donato Giancola, Bosch, michel dorigny, Bouguereau, Durer, Dore, Leyendeker, Palumbo, Elmore, Hildebrandt, Stout, Eggleton, Sweet, and Màny More!
Additional essays by distinguished contributors address particular aspects of fantasy illustration, such as the relationship between science and fantasy in the nineteenth century, and the illustrators of Robert E. Howard.
Enchanted features more than 180 color illustrations, including numerous stunning full-page reproductions. This handsome volume is a must-have reference for artists.
