Frank Frazetta has reigned as the undisputed lord of fantasy art for 50 years- his fame only growing in the 10 years since his death. With his paintings now breaking auction records (Egyptian Queen sold for $ 5.4 million in 2019) he's long overdue for this ultimate monograph. Born to a Sicilian immigrant family in Brooklyn- 1928- Frazetta was a minor league athlete- petty criminal and serial seducer with movie star looks and phenomenal talent. He claimed to only make art when there was nothing better to do - he preferred playing baseball - yet began his professional career in comics at age 16. Strip work led him to the infamous EC Comics- then to oils for Tarzan and Conan pulp covers. Both characters were interpreted by many before him- but as he explained in the 1970s- 'I'm very physical minded. In Brooklyn- I knew Conan- I knew guys just like him-' and he used this first-hand knowledge of muscle and macho to redefine fantasy heroes as more massive- more menacing- more testosterone-fueled than anything seen before. As counterbalance he created a new breed of women- nude as censorship allowed- with pixie faces and multiparous bodies: thick thighed- heavy buttocked- breasts cantilevered out to there- yet still- with their soft bellies and hints of cellulite- believably real. Add in the action- the creatures- the twilit worlds of haunting shadow and Frazetta's art is addictive as potato chips. This monograph is the biggest and most complete ever produced on the artist- done in collaboration with the Frazetta family and with top collectors.
