Pipenta commented on Frank Frazetta: Rough Work
Oh god, I remember when his stuff was all the rage back in the 70's. I hated it. I hope it doesn't make a comeback. I'm still cringing from the return of flare-bottomed jeans. Ugh....
Takuan commented on Frank Frazetta: Rough Work
that's a very narrow minded view, Pip. How can one not help but appreciate such an appetizing view of all that protein? To say nothing of how those so proportioned are frequently slow and clumsy swimmers....
Jeff commented on Frank Frazetta: Rough Work
I was very drawn to this kind of art when I was a kid (ha ha). I remember how much trouble I got into when I started sketching my own naked women. My 4th grade teacher and mother really beat me up over it. "Where did you see this sort of thing?" the women demanded. "In my father's Playboy," I responded. The Playboy that was hidden so well. Anyway, I love his work....
Jed Alexander commented on Frank Frazetta: Rough Work
I always preferred Frazetta's black and white line art to his paintings--he had such a delicate line. I'm not sure if he got that feathered look with brushes or pens, but it was gorgeous. He's a great craftsman, though like most fantasy art there's not a lot going on besides really pretty figures in motion. It's the same old repetitive fantasy tropes, drawing on guys like Virgil Finlay. There's a lot of grace in those figures though. A lot to be said for just pure, gorgeous craft....
Mark Frauenfelder commented on Frank Frazetta: Rough Work
Jed Alexander@16: "He's a great craftsman, though like most fantasy art there's not a lot going on besides really pretty figures in motion." That's an interesting observation. Robert Crumb once said in an interview that Frazetta's work was nice, but "basically brainless." That may be true. It's still gorgeous, like you said....
