Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Maxfield Parrish, Master of Make-Believe describes the life and popularity of this famous early twentieth-century American artist. This beautifully illustrated catalogue includes all types of Parrish's work, from his sumptuous murals to his fun and lively works based on Mother Goose's fairytales. The works included come from collections all over the United States, including museums like the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts where Parrish studied, as well as private collectors who have been persuaded to part with their treasures in order to give the artist the exposure that he deserves. Readers unfamiliar with Parrish's name will find an artist with an extraordinary talent for using colours, as well as an ability to create fantastical worlds, for children and adults. 'I am hopelessly commonplace, I don't know what people see in me!,' the artist once commented in his standard low-key delivery. What we see is an artist who still believes in beautiful places of gorgeous imagery executed in masterful realism based on imagination, talent and execution for its concept. Maxfield Parrish's art is instantly accessible and real. The book accompanies an exhibition by the same name organised by the Trust for Museum Exhibitions, Washington, DC. This beautifully illustrated catalogue includes all types of Parrish's work, from his sumptuous murals to his fun and lively works based on Mother Goose's fairytales. The book accompanies an exhibition organized by the Trust for Museum Exhibitions in Washington, D.C.

Softcover. Burgundy and color illus. stapled wraps, 8 pp., 12 color illus. Issued in conjunction with a 2011 exhibition commemorating the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Cornish Art Colony by Augustus Saint-Gaudens. By this time in 1885, "a new generation of artists had become American artists -- despite their training in Europe -- and more than capable of expressing a distinct national identity in their work. Leading figures in this development were the members of the Cornish Art Colony, a contrast to the 'self-help= clubs and colonies that artists had formed previously and an exceptional example of a gathering of those who had already 'made it' as professional, established artists." (p. 1) With an illustrated essay by Alma Gilbert-Smith. The exhibition checklist cites 64 pieces, and 12 are pictured here. Scarce. VG- (Ex-art library with labels and few marks, otherwise clean.).
