Description: Parrish curator and expert nonpareil Alma Gilbert has provided a series of gorgeous books that allow us to see a master painter's works in new and interesting light -- from the starting virtuosity of The Masterworks to the intimate luminosity of The Make-believe World. Her latest offering is a fitting addition to this legacy. In landscape tableaux from the starkly beautiful, White Birches in the Snow to the rustic golden glow of Sunup, Parrish created a world like no other, and this book celebrates it 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 us into the artist's life, and further illuminating the fascinating mechanics of the creative process. Of interest to Parrish fans, students of landscape panting, and anyone interested in great American art. Oversized format and high-quality printing job make this book itself a work of art in its own right.
