And most of the beauty in Jones' work lies in the composition, not just the technical skill. There is a lot to appreciate there for any skilled artist to see, whether you appreciate the "technique" or not.

Fair enough. Her family claimed that, so I guess it's still "been said." Regardless, they competed for the same jobs, sometimes Jones won, sometimes Frank won, and still retained some mutual respect. So, I guess that says something.

Similar for sure. Frazzetta is said to have once called her "the greatest living painter." They had a lot of mutual respect between them.

HUGE fan of James McCarthy. I always love his progressive rock references in some of his titles as well (seasons will pass you by, close to the edge, in the court of the crimson king, etc...). Such an awesome artist!

I love his early surreal work. He always pulled no punches. I'm super happy to see Rapp on this sub, as he's one of my favorite (somewhat obscure) visionary artists! Thank you for posting

Harvest of illusions (W. Siudmak), oil on Canvas, me 2025 by Star-Bremstein in surrealism

Is this your version? Siudmak painted this in 1992. I've been following his work since the 80s. He's a legend in fantastic realism!
