Malcolm Parcell

Malcolm Stevens Parcell (January 1, 1896 – March 25, 1987) was an American artist who won the 1925 Carnegie Prize.

[1] He was born on January 1, 1896, in Claysville, Pennsylvania to a Baptist minister and later attended Carnegie Institute of Technology.

In 1937 he married Helen Louise Gallagher (1897–1984), a school teacher who had modelled for many of his paintings.

[2] Parcell lived and worked at a home -- Moon Lorn -- in Prosperity, Pennsylvania for 62 years.

Built on the site of a log cabin that he had played in as a child, Parcell began additional construction at that location in 1925 and continued adding rooms until his death.
