This fine-art print series by Artist Rex Parker, “H. G. Wells: a Time Traveler’s Life”, commemorates the 125th anniversary of H. G. Wells’ first novel, The Time Machine. The H. G. Wells posters of Teddy & Franklin Roosevelt celebrate how each president championed national parks and the arts.
“The National Parks Arts Foundation does just amazing work, I am honored to be the featured artist on their weekend Instagram post,” said Rex.
The National Parks Arts Foundation (NPAF) works directly with select artists and the National Park Service (and their affiliates) to create unique Artist in Residency programs within the wonders of America’s national parks. The NPAF also works closely with museums, galleries, and curators to keep the residency programs relevant to the art world beyond the parks and bring the highest caliber of artists to the parks.
The NPAF has produced over 300 programs and supported over 120 artists through their National Parks Artists in Residence programs. This work is done in partnership with the National Park Service, connecting the parks with real working artists who are inspired by and working in the parks. The residencies also provide a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for artists to work on projects of their choice, away from the distractions of normal life.
Parker’s exuberant, Art Deco-inspired illustrations transport us back to the world of Wells and his thrilling era of iconic designers, writers, scientists, space explorers, world leaders, and one Invisible Man. You can check out “The Invisible Man” print on Instagram @nationalparksarts.
