Early fantasy art was usually the result of narrative, and thus illustrations for books or pulp fiction journals was a primary source of income for fantasy artists. The Avon Fantasy Reader, Weird Tales, Argosy Weekly, Famous Fantastic Mysteries, The Blue Book Magazine, The Popular Magazine, Amazing Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Unknown Fantasy Fiction, Future, Startling Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Unknown Worlds, Imagination, Imaginative Tales, Fantastic Novels, A Merritt's Fantasy Magazine, The Saturday Evening Post Fantasy Stories, and Fantasy Magazine are but a few.

Thus modern fantasy art (and science fiction art) was born out of the literary world.

But Western culture did not sprout fantasy art (as we know it) until after wide-spread literacy and common use of printing presses to create books. A method of serigraphy (to put images on paper) did not become patented until 1907. Prior to that time it was reasonably expensive to create printed works with images.

Fantasy art has been largely considered "low brow" ever since, thanks to every common man or woman drawing their own fantastical creatures or stories. During the Neo-Classicist period religious mythology was one of the highest endeavours to paint a topic on.

Many of the most phenomenal art pieces I have ever seen have been fantasy pieces. The artists' creativity has simply overflowed into new ideas that would never have occurred to the majority of us. It therefore seems silly to me ignore a very large aspect of popular art which has dominated book covers, illustrations and movie posters for the past century.

To find the humble beginnings of fantasy art we don't have to look very far. Religious mythology has been rampant in previous art movements and artwork about angels, demons, gods, centaurs and similar creatures can be found both.

I have yet to find an art history book which lists "fantasy art" as an art movement.

Perhaps it is because most art historians do not take fantasy art seriously, or because it is such a lengthy movement that goes back centuries and has its origins in folk art done by common peasants. Yet we take mythological and religious art fairly seriously judging by the amount shown in art history books, so why not fantasy art? Sheer ignorance perhaps.
