About the artist: Robert Andrew Parker is an American artist known for both his paintings and prints of figures, landscapes, and animals. Parker has produced set designs for operas and films, as well as illustrations for over 40 children's books during the course of his career. “Robert Andrew Parker is one of the most accurate and at the same time most unliteral of painters," the poet Marianne Moore wrote of him. “He combines the mystical and the actual, working both in an abstract and a realistic way." Born in Norfolk, VA in 1927, he went on to study at the Art Institute of Chicago during the late 1950s. After finishing school, he was recruited to play the role of Vincent van Gogh's hands in the 1956 MGM film Lust for Life, though his hands never ended up in the finished film, he was able to live lavishly in the South of France during the production. In 1970, the artist began one of his best-known series of works. Based on the World War II-era poems of Keith Douglas, the suite of watercolors portray both the wistful days of a British solider on holiday and the bleak reality of his time fighting in the battlefields of Egypt. Parker lives and works in New York, NY. Today, the artist's works are held in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others.

Presentation
Robert Andrew Parker (May 14, 1927 – December 27, 2023) was an American painter, illustrator, and printmaker renowned for his expressive watercolors and prolific contributions to literature and music. Born in Norfolk, Virginia, Parker's early life involved frequent relocations across the United States. He served in the Army Air Corps near the end of World War II and subsequently pursued art studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, graduating in 1952.
Throughout a career spanning over seven decades, Parker's versatile artistry encompassed illustrations for more than seventy children's books, earning him accolades such as the 1970 Caldecott Honor for "Pop Corn and Ma Goodness" by Edna Mitchell Preston. His distinctive style graced the pages of esteemed publications including The New Yorker, Esquire, and Time, and adorned album covers for jazz legends like Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington.
Parker's work is held in the permanent collections of major institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Despite being diagnosed with macular degeneration in 2000, he continued to create art well into his 90s, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to his craft.
In his personal life, Parker was married twice and had five children. He passed away in West Cornwall, Connecticut, on December 27, 2023, at the age of 96.
