Frank Frazetta, the fantasy painter and illustrator whose images of sinewy warriors and lush vixens graced paperback novels, album covers and comic books for decades and became something close to the contemporary visual definition of the sword-and-sorcery genres, died on May 10th after suffering a stroke the night before. He was 82.
Artists were to reinterpret and pay homage to the grand master of fantasy art Frank Frazetta by creating art that is evocative of Frank's work but not a carbon copy or literal rendition of it. Frank's compositions were strong and based on classical principles, masterpieces of energy and color. Epic and powerful.
