I love Frazetta's work, most when I was in my teens and twenties. His painterly style was unlike anyone else in his genre, and his figures were so voluptuous and beautifully flawed like real people made heroic, rather than all those other Barbie and Ken clones. He was a master of dramatic silhouette, judicious use of texture, sparingly rendered realistic touches that augmented where he led your eye, and he had a great optimistic empathy for all his characters, people, animals, monsters, vegetation, mountains, and even the roots and rocks laying about in each scene. He obviously loved his life. I hope his life's work will still be available to many generations of artists still to come. It is a rewarding and inspiring experience, especially for the young at heart.
