Large Print, approximately 10" x 14"
In great vintage condition, carefully retrieved and ready to frame.
Maxfield Parrish, one of the foremost illustrators of the 20th century, was born in Philadelphia in 1870, died March 1966. He lived in Philadelphia until age 28, at which time he purchased land opposite the valley from his parents' home in New Hampshire, where over a number of years he designed and built his own home and eventual studio, The Oaks.
He had numerous commissions from popular magazines in the 1910s and 1920s, including Hearst's, Colliers, and Life. He was also a favorite of advertisers, including Edison-Mazda Lamps, Fisk Tires, Colgate and Oneida Cutlery. In the 1920s, Parrish turned away from illustration and concentrated on painting for its own sake. Androgynous nudes in fantastical settings were a recurring theme, and landscapes.
Please note this is an authentic 40 year old vintage print, not a reprint or reproduction.
