Bob Haberfield

Although best known for the fantasy and science fiction book covers that he created in the early 1970’s for Michael Moorcock and others, Bob was an astonishingly prolific artist who painted extensively throughout his life for his own joy, expressing the beauty he saw in the world around him.

This work he never exhibited to the public, but every available square inch of wall space in his various homes was adorned with his artwork, along with portfolios stuffed full to bursting with drawings and paintings, and drawers full of sketchbooks. He left behind him a legacy of over 2,000 works of art in a wide range of styles and media, some commercial but mostly fine art.

Bob was an incredibly accomplished artist who mastered everything he turned his hand to, whether it be poetry, copiously illustrated with his own works, drawing and design, abstract and representational works, even flamenco guitar which he excelled at.

Bob passed away in May 2021. The aim of this website is to preserve the legacy of this remarkable and iconic artist, and to provide a platform for people to see the vast range of work that he never showed publicly.

For those interested in Bob’s fantasy art, posters of selected paintings are available for purchase on this site.
