Origins and History
Contemporary Fantasy Paintings are a relatively new genre of art that emerged in the late 20th century. The origins of contemporary fantasy art can be traced back to the Surrealist movement of the 1920s and 1930s, which sought to explore the subconscious mind and create dream-like imagery. However, it wasn’t until the 1960s and 1970s that fantasy art truly began to flourish, with the rise of the science fiction and fantasy genres in popular culture.
