When art does not go beyond surface appeal or fancy detail then what remains is at best decorative. No contact is made with the true imaginative forces underneath. Frazetta's line is born in those imaginative forces and, consequently, possesses the evocative magic that produces romance, adventure and joyous fantasy. Frazetta's form and figures are never artificial or superficial; instead , they draw us in, seduce the eye, and provide lasting pleasure. As with all of Frazetta's art, one is immediately impressed with the simple beauty of his creations, from the tiniest cluster of mushrooms to the voluptuous nymph. Frazetta's unique rhythm, harmony and grace always produce a beautiful result. These little treasures reveal Frazetta at his lyrical best, and they represent a very important pat of his artistic character that is often overlooked.
Those who are close to Frazetta realize that this volume contains the real Frazetta, a man who delights in giving joy and cheer and gentle wonder. Frazetta is a wonderfully complex man: extremely intelligent, witty, competitive, articulate, highly sensitive, and a born raconteur. Any artist's work is profoundly autobiographical; it reveals his vision, his insight, his soul. If an artist is dull, mediocre or uninspired, then those are the qualities that will emerge in his art. What goes into the art will ultimately be what comes out of the art. With Frazetta, what emerges is a man whose heart is bursting with life; he lives with great intensity and passion. It is not surprising that the most common theme found in all of Frazetta's art, from the slightest sketch to the most ambitious composition, is a sense of life. This is the reason why Frazetta is appreciated throughout the world. No one transfers more life to paper or canvas than Frazetta; This is his magical gift. Life delights in life. Frazetta is able to communicate the vitality, energy, humor, mystery, and enchantment of life better than any other artist. |

In
these watercolors [referring to Frazetta watercolor book]
Frazetta explores the beauty of simple gestures: a look, a
glance, a smile, a certain attitude or pose. Frazetta's
brush dips directly into his imagination; the original
energy of his inspiration is immediately conveyed via line
and color without the diluting reliance on models, studies,
swipes or photo reference. This is the essence of genuine
creativity, a very rare gift which is never derivative,
never repetitive, and never boring. These are the creations
that are born from a powerful imagination at play, indulging
his powers for his own amusement and the delight of his
family.
tints give emotional coloring to each distinctive scene. The sparkle and splendor of color is apparent in every composition. The expressiveness of color and its emotional impact is all part of Frazetta's mastery. Another key ingredient in these watercolors is the Frazetta line (which is the envy of countless artists) . Frazetta's line is almost superhuman in its delicacy and fluidity; it is always correct, elegant and pulsing with energy. The ink appears to dance on the surface of the paper; it is musical and rhythmic, never static. Frazetta's line evokes life and embodies beauty no matter what the subject matter. How he does it is a complete mystery.
Through simple line and color, Frazetta fills a page with the explosive resonances of life itself. All his work is charged with this special quality, From animals to nudes to fairies to exotic vegetation. Everything is alive! The possibilities of life itself explode from his brush; Frazetta shows us what we have never seen and makes us believe it can be. The magic of art is that we can also share in the artist's gift; our imaginations respond to creative power, power that Frazetta has in abundance.
