<p><strong>Fantasy art</strong>, that colorful blend of myth, muscle and sexy maidens, took off in 1923 with the launch of <em>Weird Tales</em> magazine, was reinvigorated in the 1960s with <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>, <em>Conan the Barbarian</em> paperbacks with <strong>Frank Frazetta </strong>covers, and the late '60s emergence of fantasy psychedelia. It went big in the '70s with the role-playing game <em>Dungeons & Dragons</em>, the brilliant French magazine <em>Métal Hurlant</em>, and the first <em>Star Wars</em> film.<br> <br> The number of active artists peaked in that decade, but a new generation of fans discovered the genre through fantasy trading card games in the '90s, leading to a massive interest in the art form today. Frank Frazetta's oil paintings--when they infrequently come to market--have sold for more than $13 million in recent years. Fans line up at Comic-Cons to meet <strong>Julie Bell</strong>, <strong> Boris Vallejo</strong>, <strong>Rodney Matthews</strong> and <strong>Michael Whelan</strong>, and memorialize dead icons <strong>HR Giger</strong>, <strong> Jeffrey Catherine Jones</strong>, <strong> Greg Hildebrandt</strong>, and <strong>Frazetta</strong>. Imagine how eagerly they'll welcome TASCHEN's <em>Masterpieces of Fantasy Art</em>, including all the artists listed above and more.<br> <br> This tome features <strong>original paintings</strong>, contextualized by <strong>preparatory sketches</strong>, <strong>sculptures</strong>, <strong>calendars</strong>, <strong>magazines</strong>, and <strong>paperback books</strong> for an immersive dive into this dynamic, fanciful genre. Insightful bios go beyond Wikipedia to give a more accurate and eye-opening look into the life of each artist. In short, a collection that will reign as the<strong> most exquisite and informative guide to this popular subject for years to come.</strong></p>
