EA. - «As a prolific photographer for House Beautiful Better Homes and Gardens Architectural Digest and Sunset magazine Maynard L. Parker 1900–1976 was a pioneer in documenting residential spaces and landscapes for postwar America. His extensively published sun-kissed brand of photography made him a critical contributor to domestic design culture from the 1940s into the 1960s. Parker's lens revealed the homes and lifestyles of affluent Americans and celebrities including Judy Garland Clark Gable and Bing Crosby as well as the interiors gardens and built works of Samuel Marx Frank Lloyd Wright Thomas Church and Cliff May offering an alluring template for living in a new consumer age. Maynard L. Parker: Modern Photography and the American Dream is the first monograph to consider Parker and his work. Lavishly illustrated essays by leading scholars set Parker's photography against the backdrop of an unprecedented demographic shift the Cold War and a suburban society increasingly fixated on consumption.» 010 New Hven, Yale University Press, 2012 unknown
