Fantasy Backgrounds

Fantasy Backgrounds.

I have yet to find an art history book which lists "fantasy art" as an art movement.

Perhaps it is because most art historians do not take fantasy art seriously, or because it is such a lengthy movement that goes back centuries and has its origins in folk art done by common peasants. Yet we take mythological and religious art fairly seriously judging by the amount shown in art history books, so why not fantasy art? Sheer ignorance perhaps.

Many of the most phenomenal art pieces I have ever seen have been fantasy pieces. The artists' creativity has simply overflowed into new ideas that would never have occurred to the majority of us. It therefore seems silly to me ignore a very large aspect of popular art which has dominated book covers, illustrations and movie posters for the past century.
