Frank Frazetta.

Well, I consider all to be art, but Beksinski is not what we are talking about when we think of "modern art", though it may be included by some.

Modern art is what you'd see in museums and which appears to be completely incomprehensible for most people... They follow their own logic. Art has split in several little groups of people. Some are fanartists on the internet, others are artisans, others are great comic book and fantasy artists like Frazetta, Fabry, Moebius, etc., others are contemporary artists in the sense of being in the "upfront" of art such as Damien Hirst or Richter (who I posted earlier). These little groups usually don't go along very well, they value different things entirely.

Beksinski is for me a fantasy artist, one of an unique style. Frazetta has a lot of copycats, influenced a lot of people, changed the way people draw. But Beksinski has an incredible technique and he is instantly recognizable, you can't copy him. Thus, he stands out a bit more.

None of this has anything to do with "quality". Just that little groups agree on who is the best on the thing they want to do.

pic is Moebius.

I'm off to bed now, good night.
