Book Reviews of Legacy: Paintings and Drawings by Frank Frazetta
Book Review: Excellent book about Frazetta
Summary: 5 Stars
I've admired Frank Frazetta's work since I first saw some cover art he did for Ballantine Books in the late `60's or early `70's. As if his gifts of crisp draftsmanship, imaginative composition and striking color aren't enough, he knows how to "sell" a concept. In that sense, he's kin to Fredric Remington and N.C. Wyeth, Nowadays, many of his images are iconic and anyone who ventures into the world of fantasy illustration is forced to measure his or her work against Frazetta's. The copious and often breathtaking examples artwork notwithstanding, what I liked equally was the background story - especially the role that Ellie, his wife, played as his muse, manager and rudder.
