  Fantasy art comes from the imagination rather than from direct observation of the world. As it  implies, it can be a wild visionary fancy, unreal often horrific and dreamlike. Historically the Dutch artist Hieronomous Bosch one example of such an artist who painted like none other in his time. In 1500 he painted The Garden of Earthly Delights, a triptych of the Garden of Eden which is definitely a fantasy.
        During the twentieth century, fantasy art became more diversified and accepted as an art form especially just after the horrors of the first war when the hedonistic 20’s collided with early drug experimentation. More artists could be described as fantasy artists than at any previous time until the second major flourishing in the late 60’s /70’s. These are  early often unkown/unappreciated artists who often never sold these works keeping them as 'personal' and having a concurrent commercial career.
