Frazetta, Frank: - About the world's greatest heroic fantasy artist, Frank
Frazetta, The New York Times said, "Frazetta helped define fantasy heroes
like Conan, Tarzan and John Carter of Mars with signature images of strikingly
fierce, hard-bodied heroes and bosomy, callipygian damsels" Frazetta took
the sex and violence of the pulp fiction of his youth and added even more action,
fantasy and potency, but rendered with a panache seldom seen outside of major
works of Fine Art. Despite his fantastic subject matter, the quality
of Frazetta's work has not only drawn comparisons to the most brilliant of
illustrators, Maxfield Parrish, Frederic Remington, Norman Rockwell, N.C. Wyeth
but, even to the most brilliant of fine artists including Rembrandt and
Michelangelo and, major Frazetta works sell for millions of dollars, breaking
numerous records,

This innovator's work has inspired generations of artists, movies
and directors including the Conan films, John Carter of Mars, the Lord of the
Rings trilogy, Robert Rodriguez' films including From Dusk Till Dawn, Ralph
Bakshi films, the epic, award-winning Game of Thrones series, Tim Burton's
Sleepy Hollow, Disney's animated Tarzan films, Francis Ford Coppola's
Apocalypse Now and George Lucas' Star Wars series. The Forbes magazine article
Schwarzenegger's Sargent led with the line, "Which artist helped make
Arnold governor? Frank Frazetta, the Rembrandt of barbarians."
