The
Nude Muse Julie Bell & Boris Vallejo, A - Z
Boris Vallejo and Julie Bell: The Ultimate Collection
Fantasy Workshop: A Practical Guide
Hard Curves: At the heart of Julie Bell's art is a celebration of the human form, developed to perfection and beyond in the exotic fantasy realms conjured by her imagination. Her paintings glitter with shining metal painted with stunning conviction. Power and sensuality are her themes, as are contrasts of both texture and mood; and these strands find expression in contemporary popular culture icons such as heroic barbarians and comic book superheroes. Hard Curves is divided in sections devoted to "Metallic Images", "Sensuality"; "Portraits"; "Superheroes"; "Bodybuilding", demonstrating that Bell's artwork is dynamic, often violent, always sexy. The informative text by Nigel Suckling gives much appreciated background information on Bell and her work. --Midwest Book Review
Ladies: Retold Stories In Ladies' ten signature paintings and numerous drawings, Boris Vallejo depicts the magic time when goddesses roamed the earth; they are the perfect accompaniment to Doris Vallejo's poetic and chilling retelling of ten classic tales. This is myth transfigured by a modern sensibility: retelling mythic tales from the points of view of the goddesses, heroines, sorceresses, princesses, wives, and daughters. Readers see Persephone, condemned by a god's adoration to live six months of each year in the kingdom of death; the Gorgon, a great beauty transformed into monstrosity by her own longing to be loved; Apollo's mortal bride, Coronis, left behind each time her godly husband returned to the heavens; and Pandora, who discovered knowledge no mortal was meant to have and paid the price.
Mirage First published in 1997, Mirage took the fantasy world on a whirlwind tour, introducing us to paintings so bold, so provocative and superb that it became a major success. This astounding volume by Boris Vallejo showcases alluring paintings of sensuous women and strong men, set against mythical, otherworldly backgrounds, and contains over 40 color and black and white illustrations, as well as 8 full pages of new, never before seen or published art work.
