The Art of Michael Parkes II will feature the artist's new works, including drawings, paintings, and sculptures, and showcases many of Parkes' well-known pieces. Parkes' art is internationally acclaimed as the best of the -imaginary realism- or -magical realism- art genre. Art historian John Russell Taylor's introduction explains Parkes' mastery and place in art history. The indexed collection in this new book shows the beginning of Parkes' career until the present, illuminating Parkes' artistic development in painting, sculpture, drawing, and stone lithography.
