Spectrum 3: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art

Spectrum #3

by Cathy Fenner (Editor), Cathy Fenner (Editor)

The increasing popularity of fantasy and science fiction themes in art is visualized and celebrated in the sumptuous Spectrum series, which has been the leading resource for such art since its inception in 1994. The early volumes, long out-of-print and now expensive collector’s items, are being reprinted for a new generation of fans to enjoy. Spectrum 3 , from 1996, is a typical entry, sampling wonderfully evocative alienscapes, gods, and monsters from the fertile imaginations of artists worldwide working in every major medium.

Genres: Art, Fantasy, Science Fiction

i remember first coming across the Spectrum art books in my twenties, when i would buy books simply for their dust jackets and hope the story inside wasn't too awful... the art in these books is amazing, creative, imaginary, dreamlike, fascinating, and ultimately full of life and the love of wonder and wondrous things... i would own them all if i could... extremely highly recommended...

Of course, the large art pieces are fantastic. I don't appreciate that most of the reproductions are small. The written introduction is weak.

I have the paperback. The hardback is out of print and much to deep for my pockets. Amazon had it listed for +$300 at one time. Thankfully the publishers had mercy on us and reprinted this fine art book in paperback!
