String comment = '>Maxfield Parrish, (born July 25, 1870, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.—died March 10, 1966, Plainfield, New Hampshire), American illustrator and painter who was perhaps the most popular commercial artist in the United States in the first half of the 20th century.
>The son of an artist, Parrish was educated at Haverford College, Pennsylvania, and studied art at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (l891–94) and the Drexel Institute of Art (1895), both in Philadelphia. Over the course of the next two decades he created many posters, magazine covers, and book and advertising illustrations, and he also painted murals. By the 1920s he was the highest-paid commercial artist in the United States. His popularity began to decline in the late 1930s, but his illustrations never lost favor with some segments of the American public; there was a renewed appreciation of his work in the 1960s and ’70s.
>Parrish is best known for his depictions of fantasy landscapes populated by attractive young women. He used meticulously defined outlines and intricately detailed, natural backgrounds, and his unusual colors give his pictures a dreamlike and idyllic atmosphere.

Is his art part of a particular movement/style, and if so what is it called?';

I got to see one of his exhibitions. When you see the paintings up close, you can see that he literally cut-and-pasted multiple paintings together to form one image.';

>Definitely not neoclassical, which is something from the early 1800s
Neoclassicism remained a force long after the early 19th century, with periodic waves of revivalism into the 20th and even the 21st centuries, especially in the United States and Russia.';

I have this in greater resolution. The shades are a little bit difference, so it is not just an upscaled version. Unfortunately 16 MB is too big for this board.

>This 15 by 49 foot Maxfield Parrish glass mural, Dream Garden, has over 100,000 pieces and is one of only three made by the Tiffany Company. It is located in the Curtis Center, publishing home of the Saturday Evening Post and other popular magazines (which I couldn't find listed but should be). When an individual wanted to buy it, public outrage led to its purchase by the Philadelphia Academy of Fine Arts, though it remains located at 601 Walnut St, Philadelphia, PA.

Debatable.';

What is your argument?';

NTA but I'd say he's more neoclassical adjacent. There are elements of neoclassical painting, but his work doesn't really fit in that mold, at least not completely.';
