Norman Rockwell My Adventures As An Illustrator

Eight-part series published in the Saturday Evening Post, February 13 - April 2, 1960. Ties in with the publication of his autobiography under the same title, published by Doubleday in 1960.

An unprecedented study of Norman Rockwell's creative process, pairing masterworks of American illustration with the photographs that inspired their execution

Norman Rockwell's son, Tom, has put together the absolute finest collection of his father's bounteous body of work, illustrations that bespeak the golden glow of pre- and post-WWII Americana. Rockwell senior, who said he depicted life “as I would like it to be,” chronicled iconic visions of American life: the Thanksgiving turkey, soda fountains, ice skating on the pond, and small-town boys playing baseball-not to mention the beginning of the civil rights movement. Now, the best-selling collection of Rockwell's most beloved illustrations, organized by decade, is available in a refreshed edition. With more than 150 images-oil paintings, watercolors, and rare black-and-white sketches--this is an uncommonly faithful Rockwell treasury. The original edition has sold nearly 200,000 copies.

"The long-awaited biography of the defining illustrator of the twentieth century by a celebrated art critic"--

A selection of paintings including commentaries on each one from the 1920's through the 1960's.
