The Art of Fantasy: A Visual Sourcebook of All That Is Unreal
Der Versandpreis wird an der Kasse berechnet.
An impossible landscape can reveal something surprisingly recognisable about human experience. In The Art of Fantasy, S. Elizabeth explores how artists use imaginary worlds, mythical creatures and extraordinary encounters to give shape to desires and fears.
The book brings fine art and illustration into a broad visual conversation, with artists including William Blake, Francisco Goya, Salvador Dalí, René Magritte and Max Ernst. Their different approaches offer a way to think about fantasy beyond a single style: an invented creature, an unexpected setting or a familiar object placed where it could never belong can each transform the meaning of an image.
Presented across 240 illustrated pages, this hardback is a useful starting point for readers interested in the fantastic, the dreamlike and the unsettling. Its appeal lies in the opportunity to compare images across periods and follow the imagination in unexpected directions. An engaging addition to a collection of books on Surrealism, symbolism and the stranger possibilities of visual storytelling.
