The Art of Renato Fratini - Legacy Edition

The Art of Renato Fratini

The first major monograph devoted to one of the great illustrators of the 20th century.

This lavish 448-page hardcover brings together more than 900 images spanning Renato Fratini’s extraordinary career — including original paintings, film posters, paperback covers, magazine illustration, advertising art, sketches and rare archival material.

Years in the making, the book was launched through Kickstarter, where 1,190 backers pledged more than AU$310,000 to bring the project to life.

Following worldwide fulfilment, only a limited quantity from the original 1,500-copy printing is now available directly from Ink Forge Press.

Made without compromise

Printed in Trento, Italy, on premium Gardamatt paper, The Art of Renato Fratini was produced to capture the richness of Fratini’s colour, brushwork and detail.
