Author Description

A preeminent figure in the “Golden Age of American Illustration,” Maxfield Parrish was the most popular artist of his time. Prized by both publishers and advertisers, his illustrations graced everything from candy boxes and storybooks to major magazines and the advertisements to be found in them. Parrish (1870–1966) achieved even greater fame and fortune painting for calendars and art prints. Executed in rich, luminescent colors, his radiantly romantic images attracted intense public enthusiasm. Treasured today as in the past, Maxfield Parrish's paintings remain among the best-loved works of any American artist. Among the twelve incandescent images in this calendar are Solitude, The Canyon, The Lantern Bearers, and Road to the Valley. Size: 12 x 13 in.; opens to 12 x 26 in.
