🏞 #meditativeart Painted in 1945, Mill Pond is one Maxfield Parrish’s of most commercially successful landscapes and among the most recognizable paintings in the artist’s oeuvre. ‘The most successful pictures seem to be created around a structure of some kind that is immediately grasped at a glance...The thing that I am really sure of is that a successful picture must have strength and simplicity that catch the attention and is comprehended at a glance.’ 📘 @sothebys 🏛 private collection MILL POND by Maxfield Parrish 1945 Oil on Masonite #maxfieldparrish #landscapepainting #nature #americanart
