Unter dem Begriff "Fantastische Malerei" lassen sich eine ganze Reihe Künstler aus verschiedenen Jahrzehnten des 20. Jahrhunderts zusammenfassen. Angefangen von den mystischen Gemälden Gustav Klimts oder Arnold Böcklins, über den Surrealismus (z.B. Dali, Magritte), den der abstrakten Malerei nahen Künstler wie Joan Miro bis hin zu Frida Kahlos traumartigen Selbstdarstellungen, wird in diesem Band der "Kleinen Reihe" diese Ausrichtung der Moderne betrachtet.
