4.0 out of 5 stars Dramatic, violent pulp art in the spirit of Frank Frazetta!, November 8, 1997
By 
This review is from: The Art of Ken Kelly (Paperback)
Ken Kelly was a student of Frank Frazetta and it shows in Kelly's style of art. This 94 page book is an outstanding collection of violent pulp art depicting struggles to the death with serpents, fierce cats, grotesque monsters, and heavily muscled warriors. Of course the fair maiden in distress is also a frequent theme. If you love this kind of art then this book is highly recommended. The master, Frank Frazetta, also gives a nice two page introduction to Kelly's work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!!, December 4, 2003
By 
James Rokes (Whittier, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art of Ken Kelly (Paperback)
First of all Ken Kelly was not only a student of Frank Frazetta but Frank married Ken's cousin. For those familliar with Frank Frazetta's work you will notice a lot of similarities in the two artists work like you can in comparing any student and teacher work. But Ken uses a lot of dark backgrounds mixed with bold colors making your attention focus on where he wants you to look. Also using the dark backgrounds makes the colors stand out and look vibrant. Ken Kelly's figures always seem alive in his paintings, as if he captured the event with a camera. He's without a doubt one of the best fantasy/sci fi artists out there.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Art of Ken Kelly (Paperback)

Remarks:
- Too many blank pages. In order to highlight each individual painting all the left-hand pages are clear of content.
- The only information we get for each painting is the title. No year, real size, etc...
