A messenger from the Wild East came bearing messages about the History presentation on the Polish Frontier Partisans, Born For The Sabre (I’ll post as soon as I have word as to how and where to watch this in the U.S.) The scout’s report included concept art by the great Anatoly Telenik.
Frontier Partisans has featured some of his art portraying Cossacks before. I find his work extraordinarily compelling — a feast for our eyes. We have Cossacks on the Steppe and Polish knights and hussars wielding their far-famed sabres — across centuries.
Jean says
Wow!!! Thanks for sharing.
RLT says
Dig it. I been diving into another eastern artist that you’ve featured–Vadim Gorbatov.
JimC says
Love his work.

These are men, not the washed up effete barista wannabes we get fed in the TV commercials, who they claim are men. No! These are the guys you didn’t want to trifle with, for they’d just as soon hand you your head, as listen to you.
JimC says
So they were.
Jim Callow says
We need more men like them today! They built the world, not a bunch of wannabe heroines. We need men with sand, not yellow stripes up the back.

I recently read about the Border Reivers of the Scottish-England border circa 1400-1600. The stories are very similar to those of the American Western Frontier-lots of cross-border thievery, vendettas and nighttime raids. It might even have a connection to the Wild West-the great grandchildren of those same Reivers later when on to settle in America in great numbers.
JimC says
Yes, there’s a direct connection. Welcome to the campfire Vinny.

Where can prints of Telenik paintings be purchased?
John says
Does anyone know where you can buy prints of his work ?
