Maxfield Parrish has long been considered one of the greatest American illustrators of the 20th century. His unmistakable paintings, characterized by "Parrish Blue" water & skies, luminescent rocks & hills, & exquisite young women in flowing classical robes, are infused with a romantic Eden-like quality as enthusiastically received today as when they first appeared.

Maxfield Parrish left a legacy of magnificent paintings, but he is best appreciated in the context of his own life and times. This book provides that context with an overview of the era in which American illustrative art flourished. When Parrish first arrived on the publishing scene in the 1890s, "mass media" meant print media. From Arthurian legends to American fables like The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, stories were avidly read by a literate population. New printing technology made color illustrations possible, a liberating element for artists and a delight for readers. Part lively Parrish biography and part lucid historical analysis, this book offers a treasure trove of illustrations from classic children's literature by Parrish and his contemporaries, accompanied by excerpts from the stories.

In 1923, The Boston Globe announced to a surprised American public that the country's most beloved painter was also a mechanic. Maxfield Parrish, "the painter of those brilliant landscape-s creator of the atmospheric fantasy of fairyland," had a work shop that would be the envy of many a machinist, and claimed to be not an artist who loved machinery, but a machinist who painted pictures. Parrish's audience, of course, knew him only as a painter and illustrator. At the very beginning of his career, in the eighteen-nineties, new printing processes had just made mass-produced color illustration practical. By that time, also, the American people had achieved a standard of literacy and a thirst for culture that created a vast market for books and magazines In the early years of the twentieth century, Maxfield Parrish illustrations graced the covers of magazines such as Life and Collier's, decorated lavishly-produced children's books, hung over millions of mantles, and advertised products ranging from Jell-O to Fisk Tires. While he was certainly the most popular working artist in America, Parrish also received recognition from art critics and collectors. All the while, he continued to spend his afternoons in the machine shopThe exhibition "Maxfield Parrish: Machinist, Artisan, Artist" offers a glimpse into Parrish's painting studio and his machine shop, and explores the connections between the two. Different forms of creativity often require the same skills: both art work and machine work require an ability to conceive a design and then carry it out with precision. For Parrish there were more direct connections as well, when items created in the shop appeared in the paintings. Even as he painted, he employed a highly technical method. Together, artistry and technology created "the atmospheric fantasy of fairyland" in the work of Maxfield Parrish.

Edward and Jo Hopper first discovered Vermont in 1927, making day trips from the Whitney Studio Club's summer retreat for New York artists in Charlestown, New Hampshire. In 1935 and 1936 the Hoppers again traveled to Vermont, this time from their summer home in Cape Cod, in Edward's continuing search for new places to paint. During these quests they identified the White River and what Edward considered to be Vermont's "finest" river valley, and they returned there for longer visits in 1937 and 1938, boarding at Robert and Irene Slater's Wagon Wheels farm in South Royalton. These "vacations" were a change from the usual tempo of their lives, a break from the studio-bound easels, canvas, and oils, and an opportunity to paint something different, to be in a new place and paint en plein air. Over the course of his Vermont sojourns, Edward Hopper produced some two dozen paintings, watercolors that are among the most distinctive of his regional works, strongly characterized by place. In this accessible volume, Bonnie Tocher Clause tells the story of the Hoppers' visits to Vermont, their stays on the Slater farm, and their introduction to farm life. She locates the sites shown in Hopper's Vermont paintings, identifies two watercolors not previously recognized as Vermont scenes, and traces the development of Hopper's singular interpretations of the Vermont landscape. In Edward Hopper in Vermont, Clause details the provenance of the Vermont paintings through the years, tracking the history of sales leading to the works' ultimate homes with private collectors and museums. Showcasing all the Vermont paintings in color, this volume will delight both fans of Hopper's work and those who are fascinated by the story of the creation, collection, and business of producing great art.
