The book is a lovely companion to my Maxfield Parrish print. The color plates are very close to the actual art work.

I own Maxfield Parrish: Master of Make-Believe by Gilbert and consider it a treasure, but this collection has more pictures and the colors appear to be truer than the other book. This has over 130 color plates, and more than 30 black-and-white drawings and some have never been published before this book (1995). Judy Cutler is an art dealer and has sold Parrish prints for more than 25 years and she has curated over 20 displays of Parrish's work and has worked with Parrish's son. Long story short, well worth the extra money if you are a fan. If you're not a fan you SHOULD be--this is beautiful work! I got it for half-price through Amazon.

Even though I purchased this book, USED, it was in excellent condition. Just like new. It is the history of Mr. Parrish and his family. In Depth. Then all his paintings are photographed for this book. A delightful read and I will treasure this book. It arrived quickly.

A definite must if you want to be inspired
