Well put. For me, Parrish's work always had an ethereal other-worldly nature to them, almost like a world that might have existed before the Great Flood, or perhaps in another dimension altogether. And that also (I think) has to do with both the composition of his works AND the way he was able to capture light. There seems to be a permanent sunrise or sunset in his paintings, and the people there also have a certain glow about them.
Rockwell captured the image of the America we love. Parrish showed us the dream that shines through reality.
