Maxfield Parrish: The Power of the Print

One of New Hampshire's most popular American artists, Maxfield Parrish (1870-1966) achieved great public acclaim during the first half of the 20th century. He became a household name through the mass production and distribution of high quality color prints of his paintings, which became magazine covers, illustrations and art posters. In homes all over the country, businesses and homeowners produced and posted calendars that included his fantastical figure and idealized landscape images.

This exhibition offers an extensive selection of vintage Parrish calendars, art prints and magazine covers, as well as landscape paintings from the Hood Museum of Art and Currier collections.
