Art of the Fantastic? Fantastic Art?

http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/tl/20th/...





Is Art of the Fantastic and Fantastic Art the same?





Can any of you give me examples of artists?





I'm doing Art of the Fantastic but I tried looking and this is the only site that I found that says ' Art of the Fantastic' the others only say 'Fantastic Art' with no reference or connection to 'Art of the Fantastic'.

Art of the Fantastic? Fantastic Art?
That has to be the worst description of art and the styles of painting for that era. I am not sure of the exact answer of your question but, I had to say don't bother with that web site. Whoever wrote that obviously has no idea what art is or what the artists were working to achieve. They actually speak of Freud as if he had anything to do with any art form. Art is not just about realism it seems silly to paint a picture of something you can just take a picture of that's why we have cameras. True artists can go beyond realism as a surreal artist is truly one of great talent and has a deeper understanding of what art is. Don't waste your time with that web site I am surprised that such ignorance still exists.
Reply:Go to Jon Beinarts Surreal Art Collective site. He has sections on fantastic, visionary, and surreal art. There are also some artists on www.myartspace.com that fall under fantastic art, Godfrey Blow for example.
