The ninth annual collection of fantastic artwork by Cathy and Arnie Fenner, Spectrum 9 suffers from many of the same weaknesses as the earlier books in the sequence, while embracing the strengths the series has consistently shown.
A short introduction by editor CathyFenner provides some information about how the categories are divided by looking at some of the types of works which appeared in each category during the judging period.
However, Fenner allows comments on current events to inundate this explanatory information, which tends to lessen its effectiveness either as editorial about art or explanation of the contest.
Anyway, those nice people from Underwood Books kindly sent me a copy and my jaw is still kinda dropping.
Not only is this book full of a selection of art and sculpted work from 275 people but also has a rather brilliant article breakdown of the SF/fantasy world of 2004 and how the work relates to the effects of the contemporary world by Arnie Fenner.
The art in this book is selected by competition where the judges inspect and put red beans or in exceptional cases, a paper clip in a pot against various categories.
This collection focuses on his influence in a variety of media and genres and on his place in 20th century art history.
Coedited by Hugo Award-winning editor Arnie Fenner, it includes many of Frazetta's most memorable paintings as well as revised and previously unpublished works.
The art is accompanied by the artist's own observations and commentary by a number of his contemporaries.
