Maxfield Parrish Posters and Prints

Maxfield Parrish was an artist of the American Golden Age of Illustration and was a contemporary of Norman Rockwell and Howard Pyle. He is known for his use of light and color, especially the color blue. There is actually a color named after him called Parrish Blue. He painted in the early 1900's and his work includes whimsical, detailed landscapes, magazine covers, book illustrations and advertising art. Maxfield Parrish painted several works for the House of Art who distributed his work as art prints. This made his art much more affordable and accessible and he became quite popular. The popularity of Maxfield Parrish paintings and prints endures today. I was lucky enough to view a collection of his original paintings in an art gallery in San Francisco several years ago. Very impressive! You can own an affordable piece of Maxfield Parrish artwork today.
