Synopsis
From the 1960s through the early 1980s Jeffrey Jones was one of the most respected creators of fantasy and science fiction art. Comfortable as both a book cover illustrator and as a comics artist, Jones gained a large and loyal following that resulted in his being honored with a World Fantasy Award for Best Artist. Renowned for his paintings for the works of Robert E. Howard and Fritz Leiber, Jones' atmospheric style became a major influence on subsequent generations of artists. Though he left the commercial field in the late '80s to devote his full attention on Fine Art, Jones has continued to explore the worlds of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Underwood Books' The Art of Jeffrey Jones is the first thorough retrospective of a major American painter's remarkable career. Printed in full-color on premium art paper, this 9 by 12 inch book features 175 stunning works that finally help us to fully understand Jones' versatility and skill and ultimately his importance to the field of fantastic art. Sometimes heroic, sometimes erotic, occasionally hilarious, and always breathtakingly beautiful, The Art of Jeffrey Jones is the first comprehensive collection of his artwork ever published, making this unique volume a publishing event.

Hard Back. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jones, Jeffrey (illustrator). First Editon. 158 Pages. Clean book with white pages. Dust jacket protected with mylar. Very attractive endpapers with pencilled drawings. Jeffrey Jones' world is a melting pot of ideas and influences, one in which comics, fine art, humor and erotica meld with science fiction, fantasy, and horror and emerge as something unique. One of the most gifted and innovative illustrators of the 1960s and 70s, Jones was equally popular for his book covers for such authors as Andre Norton, John Jakes, Robert E. Howard, Dean Koontz, and Jack Vance. His comic art included his features for Heavy Metal and the National Lampoon. As a founder of The Studio, he and fellow members Michael Kaluta, Bernie Wrightson, and Barry Smith, inspired a new generation of artists to become independent and explore new opportunities. A move into fine art in the early 1980s established Jones' reputation as a gifted painter and secured his place among significant artists of the 20th Century. In the footsteps of Wyeth, Pyle and the Brandywine school, Jeff Jones had kept alive the grand tradition of American illustration as art. This volume honors the groundbreaking and innovative career of Jeffrey Jones. Featuring many of his most popular works along with numerous previously unpublished paintings, this is the largest collection of his work ever published. Edited and designed by the creators of Spectrum, Cathy and Arnie Fenner, The Art of Jeffrey Jones is a memorable and fitting tribute to an exceptional creator. Contents: Passages Foreword by Arnie Fenner, Sketches Biographical Notes & Random Memories, Fantasy Art, Science Fiction, Comic Art, Nightshade, Primitives, Puritan, and The Graces.
