  • 2015-12-18
The Nassau County Museum of Art is showing the exhibition ‘Maxfield Parish: Paintings and Prints’ for the next couple of months.

Maxfield Parish lived from 1870 to 1966 and he was one of the most famous artists of the golden age of illustration. He is known for blurring the lines between fine and commercial art, along with some of his technical innovations in the field of illustration. In his career, he created murals and had a six-year contract to provide covers for Collier's magazine.

All of the works on display are on loan from the National Museum of American Illustration. They include original works and vintage prints.

In addition, the film, ‘Discovery of Art: Maxfield Parish’ will be shown several times a day.

Those in the area who have an interest in painting or graphic design, including those from Valley Stream, will likely want to take the time to visit this exhibition before it wraps up.

The exhibition will be on show at the Nassau County Museum of Art until February 28. The museum opens from Tuesday through Sunday.
The film will be showing from Tuesday to Saturday at 11:00 am, 12:00 noon, 1:00 pm, and 3:00 pm. Admission to the museum is $10.00 for adults, $8.00 for seniors and $4.00 for students and children aged 4-12.
