Fantasy Art

Dragons, wizards, barbarians and heroes of all types. Fantasy art is a beloved art form that depics fantastic flights of imagination and often covers the myths and legends of the past and the present.

Fantasy art was long subjugated to the covers of pulp fiction books. But it has come a long way in the past few decades. Fantasy has established itself as a popular and respected genre of fantasy and so has fantasy art.

And although it doesn't receive the recognition that mainstream art has received it has it has made tremendous progress based on the works of pioneers like Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo, and Luis Royo.

Although fantasy artists can achieve financial success they often don't receive the recognition of the main stream art world. There are a few exceptions to this rule of fantasy artist in Rene Magritte and Salvador Dali. But they never presented themselves as Fantasy artists.
