SynopsisThe incredible paintings of Frank Frazetta have brought him worldwide fame, legions of loyal fans, and scores of imitators. His darkly dramatic Conan the Barbarian oils and the equally powerful and erotic compositions for the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs have become the ultimate standards of excellence in the fantasy and adventure field. Icon was Franzetta's first major retrospective in his 55-year career. Lavish full-color reproduction on deluxe art paper showcases over 65 major finished oil paintings, 25 drawings, and other pieces. This new softcover edition contains 32 new pages of additional, never-before-published art and photos. New material includes paintings of Woody Allen and Peter Sellers; concepts of Clint Eastwood for the movie poster to The Gauntlet; original concepts for the Conan book cover paintings; and character drawings for the Broadway production of Li'l Abner.
The best Frazetta book I have ever run across. Large well reproduced versions of the art. The paperback has more art than the earlier hard back version. If you like Frazetta I recommend this one.
Huge Volume of Material including the Art, and Great information on Frazetta, The Artist, himself! Rare insights, Gorgeous high quality Color printing job on Thick pages - for Reading Over and over! (And Sharing!)
Tremendous price on a Fabulous newer book!
