Description: Watson-Guptill Publications(Non-Fiction, Art & Culture) Maxfield Parrish by Coy Ludwig Shop Villagelder's Books-N-Games From the back coverMaxfield Parrish was one of the most successful and original American painters and illustrators of the early twentieth century - a period that has since become known as the Golden Age of Illustration. Never before or since has an entire generation of Americans grown up surrounded by cans of cleanser, calendars, and boxes of chocolate adorned with such memorable Parrish paintings as Daybreak and Garden of Allah. In such works as these, the artist created a mythical kingdom where "impossibilities were treated as realities." This magic land was complete with genies, gnomes, mythical heroes, and classical nymphs reclining by shimmering lakes that reflected gorgeous, cloud-encircled castles; this world captured the imagination of virtually the entire American public. F. Scott Fitzgerald, for example, described the reflection in a restaurant window as being the color of "Maxfield Parrish moonlight."
