"Black Vortex" / "Five Armies" / "Truth of the Legend"
I remember as a child staring for literally hours at his art my mom had in a book - it’s ingrained in my brain - it was so impactful -even as a child I knew I was looking at something so grand, so special- powerful! I can still star for hours and see new things -such an amazing treasure of an artist!
My first exposure to Frazetta's art was as a kid in New York. I saw this big magazine of Conan and my dad got it for me. Since that day I have loved his art.
A true legend.
He really managed to make his paintings' action come alive.
I love his ultra-masculine approach to fantasy. It's a more realistic version of Corben's "Den": muscular warrior men, and super-voluptuous scantily-clad babes. Can't get any better than that.
Thank you for posting this gem!
Remarkable. I am a huge fan of Frazetta's work. He's so much better than the many imitators out there. As a guy who made it pretty far in baseball myself, it's exciting for me to see that Frank shared the same passion for the sport.
This is so freakin' great, as an artist myself I am super impressed by Frazetta's work, superb, a real treasure. Just very surprised at how few people have watched this or commented.
thank you! these videos are a real labor of love! might not get too many views or comments now but i'm hopeful in the long run, lots more videos on great artists to come!
I hope you've seen the documentary "Painting with Fire" about Frazetta. If not, it's definitely worth a watch. :)
Frazetta just opened and expanded my imagination astronomically, a true legend
I remember him doing cover art for Creepy and Eerie Magazines . His art was mind 🤧-blowing , I later discovered his paperback books with Conan the Barbarian on them . I still have volumes 1 and 2 of the Art of Frank Frazetta [ Softcovers only ], but they are treasured by me ! So sad 😞 to read of his passing away, though ! I am glad for RUclipss preserving his art for all his fans ! Thanks .
Wonderful video. Great insights to Frank's work process via his son's recollections. I've been a huge fan since I saw the Conan books on the shelves in the 60's. It is my view that Frazetta is more than a great illustrator. One day people will recognize that the work of Kline, Pollock, Motherwell, Rothko etc, are ridiculously overrated and so-called illustrators like Frazetta, Rockwell, Wyeth are really the true masters.
I searched in Google the 4 surnames that you mentioned... WTF? I only see random spots of paint.
your right on the money with your comments guys.
I question if Jackson Pollock could draw even a simple stick figure.
A truly incredible artist and visionary, in many ways superhuman, obviously born to do something no one else in history has ever done.
Words cannot describe this guys work. Carried the Sword and Sorcery/Fantasy genre to unheard of heights.
Yes he was an amazing artist. 👏
Awesome. If the gods delivered a gift to art in the form of a god himself, it would be Frank Frazetta. RIP.
That's the truth....Well said...
The Greatest fantasy artist of all time. There is one huge difference between Frank's art and the others (Vallejo, Bell, etal)... A certain action, motion in all its brutality... The scenes are alive, in motion... The other artists' (yes, skilled as they are) works are but stills and poses...
Thank you! This is so interesting. Love Frazetta's work.
All those great Creepy and Eerie and Tarzan covers.
The Best! Frazetta forever!!!
At That point people used to have home made movies. it is weird that no one ever made an atempt to film Frazetta painting.
@@davedfw814 So...All realistic painter use photo reference. Da Vinci used real people, Michalangelo did.
I knew of one other artist who used a mirror like that. She was excellent and explained the same reason why she used it. Flipping the image gave a different perspective.
legend.
Awesome interview, I could of easily watched a couple of hours of it, thanks for uploading.
Great interview. Thank you
Truly a Master!
lovely interview. Deserves more views.
Wow that picture of him playing baseball looks like he was in PS209 schoolyard, where I went to school. My Uncle was friends with Frazetta, He was also an artist, possibly influenced by Frazetta. They grew up together on East 11th st and ave Y in Brooklyn NY. He was shocked to hear of his death.
FRAZETTA THE GREATEST MASTER!!!!!!!!!
Finally somethig about frazetta's life! Great documental!
I've always seen Frank Frazetta and Sinatra as kindred spirits. Both were the absolute best at what they did and the peaks and valleys of their careers almost follow the same course. Their style of art went out of style for a while and they faced some rough times. But, when they made their respective comebacks, holy guacamole!
BTW, if you get the chance, be sure to see a movie called, 'The Little Fugitive'. It was made in residential Brooklyn and Coney Island, in 1953, the heart of The Fleagle Years. It's dead easy to imagine the story 'Squeeze Play'' taking place, just off camera, while the flick plays out.
One night oil painting, anyone who knows oil has a grasp of his talent
Lots of details I never knew. Jolly good interview.
i use to see the art work on chiller theater back in the 1970s
I can relate to the art talent, I do the same thing in a way, but didn't apply it to art. I create detailed 3D mental images of what I want to build. Then go to and build it out of wood or metal. Whether it be a building or a custom machine, don't need blueprints. Had to get a sawmill and build a small foundry and machine shop to make things.
That mirror advice sounds good!
Super
Thank you so much for this ...Big Up CAse2 , All the second hand book sellers . The publishers in of Iconoclast. The comic art movement. Frazetta Girls on Instagram.
3:48 Hey that's the music the L.A Beast uses in his videos
Where can I get some pristine copies of those Conan books (like the ones displayed in this video) with Frazetta's art? Loved to get even one nice copy.
I really just watched a whole Tide show before this, oh how i suffer for art…..
Super cool video 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Dvorak's New World Symphony is great dramatic imagery music.
Frazetta's art is a far better and lasting contribution to culture and society than hitting a few home runs.
6:30 this appears to be the same image as "Winged Terror" at 7:50 - he replaced the saber-tooth with a man, but the composition and placement of the creatures is the same.
Nice video
Frank Franzetta great artist and Inspiration! !!!!》conan ,death dealer!!! 👍
Neat
I have the original hard cover book in good condition
ooohhhh........
Wich courer he use.
Does anybody know what song is at 5:38?
Did he get lots of art schooling?
J si l impression que il y a mélange de centres!
yea, Frazetta was very good, but his sense of anatomy was often off. which i find strange since he loved painting the human figure so much. several of his paintings suffer from mistakes like too narrow shoulders, too big heads, and too short arms on his characters. so although he was a brilliant painter i'm not too impressed with his sense of proportion.
You could say the same thing about Jack Kirby. Artists who draw motion really well (and Frazetta and Kirby were two of the best) often don't display the most technically accurate human form.
@@joncarroll2040 to me that is very off-putting since i like movement, perspective and dynamics in a painting. and bad proportion just attracts too much negative attention to some parts of the picture. it kills the immersion.
mineworks form 4 am non stop till I flake
hmmmm interesting
I want to see a picture of Conan with blond hair and a leather jacket.
Closest thing to that is his Flash Gordon.
Go watch Terminator 2
Frank Sinatra is like Nirvana for 80 yr olds
great stuff, hope his life wasn't cut short by his sugar consumption!
