Landscapes

This witty and fascinating book takes a look at one of America's most beloved artists, Maxfield Parrish. In it, author Alma Gilbert argues that Parrish's better-known illustration career was a 35 year detour to achieving his true goal, the landscapes, which were probably the least known of his masterpieces. More than 50 beautiful full-color plates are included to show how he achieved this goal, and the text provides an insight into the stories behind the glorious images. This book is any art lover's dream and is a fascinating tribute to a legendary artist.
