Television Show Materials, 1959-1966, undated

Series 2 reflects Parkhurst’s broadening interests in the form of materials used in developing a television program on art history called “Images and Realities”. The program aired in the late 1960s on WJZ TV, the then-ABC affiliate channel in Baltimore. In this public education project, Parkhurst covered such topics as the cave paintings at Lascaux, ancient Egyptian artwork, and paintings by Giotto. The material in this series, which focuses on the history of art, shows a different aspect of Parkhurst’s interest in art than the materials in Series 1, which emphasize the appreciation of art.
