The
American painter Maxfield Parrish was born in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania in July of 1870. He rose to prominence
after attending art school in Pennsylvania in the late
1800's. From there, Maxfield had a number of
commissions for magazines and other publications throughout
the 1910's and 1920's. The 2010 Maxfield Parrish
calendar demonstrates how he combines the fantasy world with
the real one. He may draw an illustration of a man on
a swing with a backdrop of a mythical castle. Some of
the illustrations in this 2010 Parrish calendar are highly sought
after as the original. Maxfield Parrish passed away in
1966, but his legacy lives on to this day. |
