Parrish curator and expert nonpareil Alma Gilbert has created a series of gorgeous books that allow us to see a master painter's works in a new light-from the starling virtuousity of The Masterworks to the intimate luminosity of The Make-Believe World. Her latest offering is a fitting addition to this legacy. Featuring landscapes ranging from the starkly beautiful White Birches in the Snow to the rustic, glowing Sunup, this book celebrates the unique world Parrish created with over 80 color plates, many never before published in a book of this caliber. In addition, Gilbert gives the history behind many of the paintings, drawing upon the artist's life and further illuminating the fascinating mechanics of the creative process. Of interest to Parrish fans, students of landscape painting, and anyone interested in great American art, Maxfield Parrish: The Landscapes, with its oversized format and top-quality printing, is a work of art in its own right.
