These are good size 100% cotton throw pillows, at a full 20 inches square. This pillow features one of the most popular works from Art Deco master artist Maxfield Parrish, titled Daybreak. product design by Joseph Maas Artist note: The work of Maxfield Parrish defies categorization since he was part of no traditional movement or school, and developed an original and individual style. However, his work has been highly influential. His art features dazzlingly luminous colors. The color Parrish blue was named in acknowledgement. He achieved the results by means of a technique called glazing where bright layers of oil color separated by varnish are applied alternately over a base rendering (Parrish usually used a blue and white monochromatic underpainting). He would build up the depth in his paintings by photographing, enlarging, projecting and tracing half- or full-size objects or figures. Parrish then cut out and placed the images on his canvas, covering them with thick, but clear, layers of glaze. The result is realism of elegiac vivacity. His work achieves a unique three-dimensional appearance. Source: Wikipedia.org
