Michael Parkes is America's leading Magic Realist painter and printmaker. Though he studied graphic art and painting at the University of Kansas, his unique style evolved very much in isolation, after a period in which he gave up the practice
of art altogether and went off to India in search of philosophical illumination: born in 1944, he was very much of the hippie
generation.

Earlier on, he had painted in the generally Abstract Expressionist style normal among his teachers, but after his pause for reflection he began to draw and paint in a meticulous style of detailed representation which would enable him to give full expression to his inner world of images. The style was in principle realistic, the subject matter magical, and Magic Realism has characterized his work ever since. All is Lithographs are original stone lithographs.
