George Barr (artist)

Barr's work has been characterized as being influenced by [[Arthur Rackham]], [[Hannes Bok]] and [[Virgil Finlay]],<ref>{{cite magazine|last=Pournelle |first = Jerry| author-link = Jerry Pournelle |title = The Gimlet Eye|magazine = [[Science Fiction Review]]| issue = 16|pages =35| date = February 1978}}</ref> and was often romantic and whimsical. Barr used an unusual layered technique, first pencilling in the drawing very lightly, then redrawing it with black ball-point pen complete with tonal variations. The colors were then painted in, "almost as if doing a coloring-book exercise", as Barr noted.<ref name=asimov />
