Maxfield Parrish [Anglais] [Relié]

Maxfield Parrish has long been considered one of the greatest American illustrators of the 20th century. In the early 1920s, when his works Garden of Allah and Daybreak were reproduced as art prints, he quickly became one of the best known artists in America with his art images appearing on posters, calendars, magazine covers, and book illustrations. His unmistakable paintings, characterized by "Parrish Blue" water and skies, luminescent rocks and hills, and exquisite young women in flowing classical robes, are infused with a romantic Eden-like quality so entrancing that reproductions are as enthusiastically received today as the prints were when they first appeared.

A look at the life and work of one of the best and most successful artists who worked in magazine illustration features eighty-five full-color and ten black-and-white reproductions of his work. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.

Maxfield Parrish (American, 1870-1966), enjoyed a popularity unmatched in the twentieth-century art world. His art prints had an enormous impact on popular American culture, appearing in one out of four households. His images were reproduced everywhere--as illustrations in children's books and in such leading periodicals as Scribner's Magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, Hearst's Magazine, and Harper's Weekly; as advertisements for everything from bicycles to Jello (tm) and tires to chocolates; as greeting cards; as calendars for, among others, General Electric Edison Mazda Lamps for almost two decades; even as menus and toys. His most successful paintings feature beautiful women posed thoughtfully against dramatic landscapes, and they remain even today among the best-loved works of any American artist. --Ce texte fait référence à une édition épuisée ou non disponible de ce titre.
