Description
Frank Frazetta - Original Painting, "Savage World" (1967). Some pieces of art stand as the definitive works of their creators. Van Gogh's Starry Night, Seurat's A Sunday in the Park on the Island of La Grande Jatte, or Munch's The Scream are all examples of creations that have bestowed artistic immortality on the artists who painted them. In much the same way, Savage World brings together on one canvas all that is best about Frank Frazetta. The dynamic imagery, the brilliant use of color, the savagery of the cavemen contrasted with the raw sensuality of their female captive, even the plodding menace of the great beasts who stalk the primitive hunters...all of these elements are perfectly rendered by the man many have called the King of twentieth century illustration. Brilliantly conceived and flawlessly executed, Frazetta easily draws the viewer into another time and place, creating a fantasy world that reveals hidden levels and inner depths that become more and more apparent on each viewing. First published as the wrap-around cover of Monster Mania #2 and simultaneously released as a print, the piece was repainted by Frazetta in 1981 while working on the animated feature Fire and Ice. It was later published in the 1985 release, Frazetta Book V. Measuring an imposing 22.5" x 35" overall, the piece is in excellent condition and is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. A classic work by a modern master, this will be the prize addition to any collection of fine art.Auction Info
