The Art of Maxfield Parrish

 

Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) was among the leading artists associated with what is known as the Golden Age of Illustration and contributed significantly to shaping the future of American visual arts throughout his more than 50 year career.

 

The Maxfield Parrish Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of his seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

 

Parrish's work is characterized by an attention to detail, composition and texture - whether in his monotone work or in his more recognizable, luminous colour illustrations. Those titles including illustrated by Parrish exclusively in colour include Poems of Childhood, The Arabian Nights, A Wonder Book and Tanglewood Tales, The Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics and Knave of Hearts.
