Introductory 'Paragraph'

I'm behind schedule slightly and the past week did not bring any fruit either. I wrote something like an introductory paragraph so the rest of the class could understand what my paper is about but I'm not really sure if it was clear enough. I tried explaining but I wasn't really understood. Hope that when I start writing it will be better. The introduction follows.

Is Fantasy Art yielding to the pressure of globalised commercialization?

"The dominant mould of 20th century is fantastic genre."
-Christopher Mitchell

In the past decade the word conjunction Fantasy Art started to emerge and is now commonly used although Fantasy Art was never acknowledged as an artistic movement.

Fantasy as a genre (primarily literary) was considered for children for a long period of time. At the end of 19th century it started to change. In 1923 the first all fantasy magazine collecting the most bizarre and far out stories was published - Wierd Tales. Authors such as H.P. Lovercraft, Ray Bradbury or Robert E. Howard launched their career in this magazine and several fantasy artist became widely known because of it as well - Margaret Brundage and Virgil Finlay - graphic pen illustrations.[SOURCE]

At this point fantasy written for adults was still rare and not considered of a good quality. Slowly it was coming to be known by reading public but it wasn’t until the publishing of The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien that managed to popularized the fantasy genre. [SOURCE]

Since mid-20th century fantasy genre is known to the wide public and became part of the pop culture. We can find fantasy art on book covers, in card games or role playing games. A large portion of fantasy art is done for movie and game industry. The companies producing these items hire fantasy artists to do the cover, poster or illustration and the artist does it - he produces what is known as fantasy art.
As you can deduce from earlier paragraph fantasy art has a function. Is the art limited by its function? To understand this more we will need to delve into the elements that define fantasy itself and why and how such art is created. Lastly we will look more closely at the role of a computer as a medium when producing fantasy art.

Also today and yesterday I was putting my bibliography together. I will update this post with it when I manage to put it into the correct format.
