We recently purchased a HUGE COLLECTION of Maxfield Parrish (80+) Prints from an estate auction in Massachusetts. Within the collection t are some truly great prints to view if you are a fan of M.P. art at prices that are much cheaper compared to any Maxfield Parrish Art Dealer. We are an admirer of his art and thought to buy the entire collection so that we could keep some for ourselves, and to offer the remaining of the prints to the rest of the fan club which is enormous we think since everything was purchased from one owner, who truly appreciated many of his works, and this proud collection must have taken years to gather with much care. Most of the prints we have to offer are framed, recovered paper backing and wired within the past 20 years from the previous owner. We also have separate prints from magazine's and book's that can be framed as well. If you have any question or request, please send us your email. All purchases have a 100% money back guarantee.

In the 1920’s, Parrish turned away from illustration and concentrated on painting for its own sake. Androgynous nudes in fantastical settings were a recurring theme. He continued in this vein for several years, living comfortably off the royalties brought in by the production of posters and calendars featuring his works.
