Description: Maxfield Parrish is one of America's greatest twentieth-century illustrators. His works found their way into nearly a quarter of homes across the country in the 1920s. The bold, blue color he created for skies and water has since become known as "Parrish Blue." Parrish's paintings combine romanticism, bold colors, dramatic lighting and classical costumes that have become synonymous with his style. In Maxfield Parrish Masterworks, biographer Alma Gilbert celebrates the artist's career and shows us some of his greatest creations. Notes: Maxfield Parrish was as influential to art as Frank Lloyd Wright to architecture. Parrish's lush oil paintings come to life in this unique collection on his work. Paintings in the 2004 edition of the calendar include: Dinkey Bird, Young Girl in a Landscape, Wild Geese, Millpond, Ecstasy, Land of Make Believe, Knave Watching Violetta Depart, Evening Shadows, Alphabet, October 1900, Vigil at Arms, and Getting Away From It All. Alma Gilbert owns the Cornish Colony Gallery & Museum and has written several books on Maxfield Parrish and his life at the Mastlands. She has created text to accompany each image in this wall calendar. and has worked with Tide-mark on The Cornish Colony Book of Days for 2003, which also features Maxfield Parrish's work.

Ms Gilbert is a dealer in Parrish's work. She credits herself for the resurgence in critical interest in Parrish's work from the 1970s, indeed seems to fancy herself a, if not the, preëminent Parrish critic (her choice of subtitle is indicative in this respect). She began and directed the short-lived Parrish museum at Parrish's former home. When the text isn't about her dealings with Parrish's artworks, it's about Parrish's life, with a sharp hagiographical bent. ( )
