Kurzbeschreibung

Maxfield Parrish (1870–1966) remains one of America’s most beloved artists, widely known for his incredibly detailed and lavish works. His landscapes are perhaps the least well known of his masterpieces, although they were the closest to his heart. Indeed, in his later years, Parrish dedicated himself almost entirely to landscape scenes, sometimes reworking earlier pieces to remove human figures.
 
In this witty and illuminating book, Parrish expert Alma Gilbert argues persuasively that Parrish’s better-known illustration career was a thirty-five-year detour on his path to achieving his true goal, a dedication to reproducing nature in all its splendor. The 50-plus color plates in this book show how masterfully he achieved that goal, while the text provides fascinating insight into the stories behind these glorious images. Also featured are lovely photos of Parrish’s estate, The Oaks, where he found refuge and inspiration, shots of the artist and his family, and hitherto unpublished correspondence. Together, these elements help sketch in the context surrounding this remarkable man and his extraordinary art. A feast for the senses, this is truly a book for any art lover, whether familiar with Parrish’s marvelous landscapes, or on the brink of a wonderful discovery.

Synopsis

This text celebrates Parrish's world with over 80 colour plates, many never-before published in book form. Parrish specialist Alma Gilbert gives the history behind the paintings, explores Parrish's life and illuminates the mechanics of the creative process.

If I could have found a copy of this book to preview before ordering I never would have bought this book. Far, far too many pages and current photos devoted to the landscape surrounding his home. And as I said before, Is this book about the landscape paintings of Maxfield Parrish or is it about Alma Gilbert and her ties to his life? This book was a disappointment to me.

Some of Maxfield Parrish's least known but most vibrantly beautiful works are the landscapes featured in this book. Here is his ultimate mastery of light and color.

Although commercial illustration built his fame and fortune, Parrish's true love was landscape painting. Many excerpts from his correspondence attest to this fact and provide a remarkable glimpse into the background of the artist.

There are several pages of photos of Parrish's estate, "The Oaks", which provided the inspiration for many of his works. Now owned by the author, it is evident how these magnificent grounds are reflected in the paintings.

The book concludes with 34 full page color plates of landscape paintings produced for the Brown & Bigelow Co. from 1936-1963. Having been a Parrish fan for years, I found several new favorites here.

Disappointed 16. Juni 2005
Von N. Lincoln - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I was very disappointed in this book. I have been a huge Maxfield Parrish fan since the early 70's. His landscapes are my favorite. But this book has very few paintings from the artist and seems to focus more on the photos of the farm where he lived. I felt that I was very misled by the title 'The Landscapes'. I would not recommend this book to anyone. I thought it was a waste of money. I have seen more of his Landscapes in magazine articles!
