Maxfield Parrish: Painter of Magical Make-Believe

32 pp. | Pelican | September, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4556-1472-1 $16.99
(4) 4-6 Parrish's realistically drawn fantasy scenes and figures drew criticism; he remained true to his particular gift, and achieved great commercial success. Liberally illustrated with Parrish's dreamlike posters and paintings, this picture book biography provides a minimal sketch of the artist's early life in order to frame his creative development and style. Notes about the illustrations are appended.
