Maxfield Parrish, Reveries (detail), 1913.
The 2025 Winter Exhibition, The Ethereal Worlds of Maxfield Parrish, from the National Museum of American Illustration, on view January 21st through April 20th, features 25 original works of art by Maxfield Parrish illustrating his genius for evoking a dreamlike world between reality and reverie.
Parrish’s work is often associated with the Golden Age of Illustration and falls both within the realms of Romanticism and Fantasy, with some influence from the Aesthetic Movement. Not strictly confined to any single movement, his work is a blend of idealized realism, with lush landscapes and figures that evoke both a romantic and fantastical sense of beauty. His mastery of ethereal colors, especially the famous “Parrish Blue,” were essential in conveying his dreamlike vision. The exhibition is an immersion in Parrish’s most evocative works, an invitation to pause, to reflect, and be drawn into a world where beauty reigns supreme.
Exhibition is on view during normal museum hours.
