This book was released on 2000 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maxfield Parrish left a legacy of magnificent paintings, but he is best appreciated in the context of his own life and times. This book provides that context with an overview of the era in which American illustrative art flourished. When Parrish first arrived on the publishing scene in the 1890s, "mass media" meant print media. From Arthurian legends to American fables like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, stories were avidly read by a literate population. New printing technology made color illustrations possible, a liberating element for artists and a delight for readers. Part lively Parrish biography and part lucid historical analysis, this book offers a treasure trove of illustrations from classic children's literature by Parrish and his contemporaries, accompanied by excerpts from the stories.

Download or read book Maxfield Parrish written by Laurence S. Cutler and published by Pomegranate Communications. This book was released on 1995 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maxfield Parrish has long been considered one of the greatest American illustrators of the twentieth century. In the early 1920s, when his works Garden of Allah and Daybreak were reproduced as art prints, he quickly became one of the best known and most beloved artists America had known and most beloved artists America had known or would ever know. His unmistakable paintings - characterized by "Parrish blue" water and skies, luminescent rocks and hills, and perfect-looking young women draped in flowing, classically inspired garments - are infused with a romantic and paradisiacal quality so entrancing that today's reproductions of them elicit the same infectious enthusiasm as when the first prints were released over seventy years ago. Until Judy Goffman Cutler, coauthor of this book, curated the international exhibit "Maxfield Parrish: A Retrospective," Parrish's paintings had rarely been shown as a group of fine art pieces, and because of this Parrish had been considered by critics to be "merely" an illustrator. The exhibition and this book serve to change that impression, with a presentation of paintings and drawings that embody the artist's long career and extraordinary accomplishments. Many of the artworks that appear in Maxfield Parrish: A Retrospective, have never been reproduced before. Other plates are especially significant because they reproduce for the first time the original painting - rather than prints made from them. Included are over 130 color plates and more than thirty black-and-white illustrations and historical photographs, along with an essay from Joanna Maxfield Parrish, the artist's granddaughter, and text by Laurence S. Cutler and Judy Goffman Cutler of the American Illustrators Gallery in New York City. Maxfield Parrish is one of America's greatest cultural treasures. Maxfield Parrish: A Retrospective, published in honor of the 125th anniversary of his birth, places his magnificent body of work in just that context. -- from dust jacket.

Download or read book Maxfield Parrish written by American Precision Museum and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1923, The Boston Globe announced to a surprised American public that the country's most beloved painter was also a mechanic. Maxfield Parrish, "the painter of those brilliant landscape-s creator of the atmospheric fantasy of fairyland," had a work shop that would be the envy of many a machinist, and claimed to be not an artist who loved machinery, but a machinist who painted pictures. Parrish's audience, of course, knew him only as a painter and illustrator. At the very beginning of his career, in the eighteen-nineties, new printing processes had just made mass-produced color illustration practical. By that time, also, the American people had achieved a standard of literacy and a thirst for culture that created a vast market for books and magazines In the early years of the twentieth century, Maxfield Parrish illustrations graced the covers of magazines such as Life and Collier's, decorated lavishly-produced children's books, hung over millions of mantles, and advertised products ranging from Jell-O to Fisk Tires. While he was certainly the most popular working artist in America, Parrish also received recognition from art critics and collectors. All the while, he continued to spend his afternoons in the machine shopThe exhibition "Maxfield Parrish: Machinist, Artisan, Artist" offers a glimpse into Parrish's painting studio and his machine shop, and explores the connections between the two. Different forms of creativity often require the same skills: both art work and machine work require an ability to conceive a design and then carry it out with precision. For Parrish there were more direct connections as well, when items created in the shop appeared in the paintings. Even as he painted, he employed a highly technical method. Together, artistry and technology created "the atmospheric fantasy of fairyland" in the work of Maxfield Parrish. (This Kindle edition is a reprint of an APM Exhibit Catalog, originally published 1995.)

Book excerpt: An abundantly illustrated history of fantasy art, from the Old Masters to the present For hundreds of years, artists have been inspired by the imaginative potential of fantasy. Unlike science fiction, which is based on fact, fantasy presents an impossible reality—a universe where dragons breathe fire, angels battle demons, and magicians weave spells. Published to coincide with a major exhibition organized by the Norman Rockwell Museum, this handsome volume reveals how artists have brought to life mythology, fables, and fairy tales, as well as modern epics like The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. The main text of Enchanted, by exhibition curator Jesse Kowalski, traces the emergence of the themes of fantasy in the world’s civilizations, and the development of fantasy illustration from the Old Masters to the Victorian fairy painters, to Golden Age illustrators like Howard Pyle and Arthur Rackham, to classic cover artists like Frank Frazetta and Boris Vallejo, to emerging talents like Anna Dittmann and Victo Ngai. Additional essays by distinguished contributors address particular aspects of fantasy illustration, such as the relationship between science and fantasy in the nineteenth century, and the illustrators of Robert E. Howard. Enchanted features more than 180 color illustrations, including numerous stunning full-page reproductions. This handsome volume is a must-have reference for artists and illustrators, and a delight for all lovers of fantasy.
