Synopsis
Vanguard
follows last year's hit Fantastic Paintings of
Frazetta book by J. David Spurlock
with definitive reference on Frazetta
Book Cover Art.
Frazetta is the
revolutionary fantasy artist of Conan, King Kong, Death Dealer, Edgar Rice
Burroughs, Lord of The Rings and more, whose original art sells for millions. This
new 2022 Frazetta book follows last year's hit, Fantastic Paintings of
Frazetta and is similar to Vanguard's earlier Frazetta
Definitive Reference book. But, it is superior in at least one regard.
Instead of cataloging Frazetta items with mostly smaller illustrations, this
new book is devoted solely to the artist's single, most beloved venue, Book
Cover Art. By focusing on this specific area, the book boasts room enough to
feature every single one of Frazetta's famous and highly collectable
illustrated book covers, beautifully and authentically reproduced at a larger
size on a page to itself. All are presented in chronological order which, gives
readers a unique ability to follow Frazetta's evolution as an artist.
Accompanying text includes commentary, original publication titles,
publishers, dates, and rare quotes from the artist himself. For this Definitive
Reference to feature the Complete Collection of Frazetta's decades of book
cover illustrations, in a single beautifully produced volume, is a dream come
true for Frazetta fans, art and book collectors and historians alike.
