"Parrish entered into an artistic career that lasted for more than half a century, and which helped shape the Golden Age of illustration and American visual arts. During his career, he produced almost 900 pieces of art including calendars, greeting cards, and magazine covers. Parrish's early works were mostly in black and white. In 1895, his work was on the Easter edition of Harper's Bazaar. He also did work for other magazines like Scribner's Magazine. One of his posters for The Century Magazine was published in Les Maîtres de l'Affiche. He also illustrated a children's book in 1897, Mother Goose in Prose written by L. Frank Baum. By 1900, Parrish was already a member of the Society of American Artists. In 1903, he traveled to Europe again to visit Italy. " (from Wikipedia).

Maxfield Parrish
Published by Watson-Guptill Publications, New York, 1973
ISBN 10: 0823038971ISBN 13: 9780823038978
Book First Edition
Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Illustrated by Maxfield Parrish (illustrator). 1st Edition. First Printing. Publisher's full blue cloth, gilt lettering on spine and cover, yellow endpapers. Profusely illustrated with 64 full-page, full-color plates and hundreds of B&W illustrations. At the turn of the 20th Century a small group of artists, including Maxfield Parrish and N. C. Wyeth, were leading their contemporaries in imagination, scope, quantity and quality of their work. Parrish's work, when seen in person, has a glow and magical sense of light unlike almost any other paintings. He painted using a brilliant white ground on his canvas and then layered the colors, using one color at a time, with each one separated by a layer of vanish. As a result, light seems to travel from the surface of the painting through the colors to the white ground and is then reflected back to the viewer. The paintings seem to glow. Ludwig's book presents an excellent description of Parrish's process and provides an extensive selection of his work. The volume is in virtually perfect condition; unmarked, tight, square, bright, and clean. The unclipped dust jacket is also in excellent condition, with no tears except for very minor wear at the head of the spine. FINE/NEAR FINE. . Color and B&W Illustrations. 4to 11" - 13" tall. 223, (1) pp.
