[edit] Fantasy art
If we're going to instruct readers that it should not be confused with fantasy art, we should give at least some reason why not. Goldfritha 02:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Agree on general principle. I might ask, what exactly is the definition of "fantastic art" that differentiates it from "fantasy art?" If there is no difference, then I would suggest merging "fantastic art" into fantasy art. If there is a difference, it should probably be defined. Anyone have a reference on the artistic difference between the two? Mgmirkin 01:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Is "fantastic art" a sub-genre or super-genre of "fantasy art?" IE, can all "fantasy art" be described as "fantastic art?" Whereas not all "fantastic art" fits into the category of "fantasy art," insofar as fantastic art may include horror, the grotesque, non-magical, etc. Mgmirkin 01:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Merge from Fantasy painting
Please merge relevant content, if any, from Fantasy painting per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fantasy painting. (If there is nothing to merge, just leave it as a redirect.) Thanks. —Quarl (talk) 2007-03-18 08:19Z
[edit] Sculpture and visionary environments
Sculptures, sculpture gardens and "visionary environments" have no less (and perhaps more) potential to qualify as fantastic art than paintings. InMemoriamLuangPu (talk) 09:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Western bias
This section is hopelessely West-centered. Bosch was not the first fantastic artist (as spectacular as he is). He was the first well-known European fantastic artist.
Bunleua Sulilat is an excellent example of contemporary Asian artist who worked with fantastic sculpture gardens. Yet, because of the strong Western bias and emphasis on painting, I was not even sure how to include him in the main text. InMemoriamLuangPu (talk) 09:20, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
