11 Dec 06 - 10:54 PM (#1907062) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: Little Hawk I think it sucks. Dreadful art. Tasteless, ugly, and gross. Unappealing in the extreme. Perfect for Heavy Metal album covers, and that really says it all. ;-) If Shane had artistic abilities, he would BE Frank Frazetta! |

12 Dec 06 - 12:25 PM (#1907503) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: Cluin Ever seen the work of Francis Bacon? Not the 16th/17th century philosopher, but his descendant the 20th century painter. |

12 Dec 06 - 02:40 PM (#1907615) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: GUEST,Shimrod My favourite SF and Fantasy illustrator was Jack Gaughan. Back in the 60s he did a lot of illos for Galaxy and its sister mags and he also did a lot of classic covers for Ace paperbacks. I think that he died about 10 or 15 years ago and suspect, sadly, that he's already been forgotten. |

12 Dec 06 - 05:34 PM (#1907789) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: Elmer Fudd Oh. Agreed. (But I'm sure if Bacon read these posts his feelings would be so hurt he'd cry all the way to the bank.) Feasted your eyes on any Basquiat lately? E. |

12 Dec 06 - 05:42 PM (#1907800) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: Cluin I kind of like some of Basquiat's work, at least the more figurative stuff. But he, like Bacon, isn't around any more to care what we think. Bacon had the skill to make his images really repellent. |

13 Dec 06 - 12:48 PM (#1908517) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: GUEST,Shimrod Dear 'mrdux', Thank you so much for the information and those links! They really took me back. I think that the March 1965 issue of 'If', containing Fred Saberhagen's 'Stone Place', was the first one I bought - and I still have it. I loved 'Galaxy', 'If' and 'Worlds of Tomorrow' under Frederick Pohl's editorship. In my particular corner of the UK they weren't particularly easy to find, but I often managed to pick up back issues as imports. I think that Gaughan's illustrations were one of the factors which made those mags so exciting. Was it really as long ago as 1985 that he died? Doesn't time fly! |

14 Dec 06 - 08:01 AM (#1909318) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: JohnInKansas Frazetta's fantasy art is good, and he has respect and reputation in that field. A few works outside the fantasy themes show he's capable of working with other themes, and isn't, unlike a lot of them, doing the fantasy stuff just 'cause he can't do anything else. Those who like him can drop back a generation and check out Boris Valejo, who has/had "prettier" fantasies; but since Boris started taking help from his sweetie (who has her own reputation of sorts) most of his more recent work seems to me to make even the females a bit "homoerotic." (She likes really big muscles, apparently.) Valejo's "Portrait of Bill and Hillary" is certainly fantasy, and is "billious" if not "hillaryous" - if you can find it; but it's "disappeared itself" from the sites where I've seen it, including Velejo's.

19 Dec 06 - 07:10 AM (#1913459) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: Cluin JiK: "drop back a generation..."? Actually Frank Frazetta is of an earlier generation than Boris Vallejo. Vallejo started as a sort of imitator of Frazetta's work. Frazetta got his start in comics and illustrations for Playboy. |

20 Dec 06 - 10:58 AM (#1914813) Subject: RE: BS: Frazetta's art From: EBarnacle Kinkaide gives art a bad name and is doing his best to ruin the market. His editions are so large that to call them "limited" is a misnomer. It's more like "limited to all I can sell." I won't deny that his art is popular. Perhaps a century from now, he will be considered the equivalent of Currier and Ives for kitsch. Some will certainly survive that long just because there are so many. It is my understanding that Francis Bacon was a cleric and died childless. If I am wrong, mea culpa. |
