Anybody ever heard of this guy? I think he's great, he's very like a Symbolist, or a very dreamy Surrealist, but he does not fit into any one category.

I was never a fan of his earlier or later stuff, personally.

I've got some prints of stuff he did for fairytales and they are beautiful, e.g. a 1930's kind of Cinderella descending a staircase. I like that color in his paintingss that comes into the sky right after sunset. I've heard it called "Parrish Blue." It is not quite cobalt, but it reminds me of cobalt.

I like the fantasy look of it.
