- Synopsis:
"Parrish Blue" is a film produced in 1967, shortly after the death of the popular American artist/illustrator Maxfield Parrish. It's a rare film, made when his home and studio in Cornish, New Hampshire, were just about as he left them at age ninety-six. His son, Maxfield Parrish, Jr., and artist and friend, Norman Rockwell, share their understanding of this man who dominated the popular arts in early twentieth-century America. We glimpse much of Parrish's work from magazine covers to advertisements, from huge murals to decorative prints, from book illustrations to note cards. Many of his originals were available to the film makers. The film itself is a transfer from a recently discovered "answer print" and shows its age through scratches and grain as it develops an engaging portrait of a supremely talented "character" who touched so many people with his unique vision. - Actors:
