Maxfield Parrish Master Of Make-Believe

Maxfield Parrish stands alone in the annals of American art. The most popular artist/illustrator of the early part of the twentieth century, his prolific body of work has been reproduced in books, calendars, art prints and advertisements for generations. His unique style involved layers of thin, transparent oil coated with varnish, creating luminous visions both hyper-real and fantastical. The pictures included in this book come from collections all over the United States, including the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and works from private collectors. The book includes a chapter written by Joyce Stoner, who is in charge of the restoration of the Du Pont murals.Gilbert-Smith, Alma is the author of 'Maxfield Parrish Master Of Make-Believe' with ISBN 9780856676017 and ISBN 0856676012.
