5.0 out of 5 stars
A superbly presented and informative art history.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Maxfield Parrish & the Illustrators of the Golden Age (Hardcover)
Many books have profiled Parrish's art; Maxfield Parrish and the Illustrators of the Golden Age reproduces 70 works of Parrish and other illustrators of his times, using the archives of the Americana Illustrators Gallery and other resources to present works by a range of painters. Chapters provide plenty of text history of the works of these illustrators and their related styles. Highly recommended, this goes beyond most singular Parrish focuses.

A clear window on the golden age of magazine illustration,
By A Customer
This review is from: Maxfield Parrish & the Illustrators of the Golden Age (Hardcover)
In concise but informative prose, Margaret Wagner illuminatesnot just the work of the timelessly popular Maxfield Parrish, but sheplaces him firmly within the context of his time. Ms. Wagner accomplishes this by introducing readers to some of Parrish's lesser known contemporaries (though the book has a rich selection of his work too) and by not falling prey to histrionically trumpeting his "greatness." Parrish's fans might even learn something from this book.
