In case it wasn't very obvious by how much I just spam posted about the art and writing in this book, I LOVED it.
It's fair to say it covers art and artists who were working and influencing from the 60s to 80s, with perhaps peak popularity and certain trends in the 70s. The book is an amalgam of specific subject matter and broader topics in sci fi art 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/? (primarily book covers, but also magazines and mentions of film and videogame art as well as non-fiction projects) as well as featuring individual spreads for a large number of artists and their work. I would have been happy to have this book be all pictures, but turns out I also enjoyed the informative, enlightened writing style. 2mo
Robotswithpersonality 3/? Personal observations:
Happy to come away with a few book titles I want to look up.
Didn't realize that the best term for what I love is 'impressionist sci fi' art, but between John Berkey and John Harris, it's obvious that's my favourite style.
Paul Lehr is also a fave primarily due to his use of colour.
2mo
Robotswithpersonality 4/4 Surprising no one that knows me, the robots and trees sections were my absolute favourites.
I definitely need to look into surrealist sixties sci fi art, often referenced here, because I loved whenever bits of it showed up, and I'm starting to think my fave vintage sci fi covers I remember from my parents library are actually in this oeuvre/era.
Had such a wonderful time. Pick up an art book, treat yourself, support your library & authors!

A ridiculous sense of triumph seeing two of my favourites make the epilogue: John Harris and Paul Lehr.

So frustrating, I loved this cover, I loathed this book.

It's a vibe? 🫣 ...and also a well-worn trope to have “warrior women with more fortitude than clothes“.
I mean there must be a psychological effect on the enemy forces when one rides into battle, no fucks given, buck-naked on the back of a very angry bird firing a laser gun, though I have to wonder if that rig is comfortable against bare skin. 😬

Okay, people, I now have all the evidence I need that sci fi covers can be colourful. Can we please ditch the blue/black/white/grey/red palette - please?!

Wow. 😑

Yes, more surrealist, please. 🙏🏻

Both of these are gorgeous, but I'm swooning for Vallejo's butterfly bird in particular. Wish me luck as I now try to track down a children's picture book from 1978. 😩
