About this Item

Oversized 10 3/8" x 12 3/4" slate blue cloth boards with navy half spine with copper titling to spine, in illustrated dust jacket, 248 pp. SECOND EDITION. A Near Fine copy with just minor rubbing at the etremities; otherwise pristine. Jacket is better than Very Good, perhaps Near Fine: see photo enlarged; curling and some minor wear at the paper edges, a few small impressions along the front gutter, and some minor surface rubbing but otherwise a handsome jacket. "THE MASTERWORKS stands as the authoritative collection of Parrish s best works. Compiled by long-time Parrish expert and curator Alma Gilbert, THE MASTERWORKS brings together the most popular, most important, and most fanciful of Parrish s paintings. Here you ll find the glorious Dinkey Bird, the extensive Florentine Fete murals, the amazing Interlude, and the sublime Daybreak, which sold for a record $4.25 million at a Sotheby s auction in 1996. Also included are some of Parrish s lesser-known works, through which we see the development of the artist s style and technique. Through historical analysis, contemporary news clippings, and letters from the artist himself, we get to know the genius behind the artwork. Updated with all the current Parrish scholarship, this new edition of THE MASTERWORKS continues the grand tradition of celebrating Parrish s work and bringing his oeuvre to the public." - publisher.
