Norman Rockwell is in my top five artists list . He captured the pleasant whimsical side of early Americana . Half the time , in his later works , you can't decide if it's a photograph or a painting . Though Rockwell had an affinity towards middle class life he was not limited to it . He grew as an artist and was able to branch out after a successful career with Post . If you are somehow not familiar with Rockwell's work , I suggest you familiarize yourself with him ! He is wonderful :)
This book was amazing! It’s a history of Norman Rockwell’s art and career. It has a lot of his paintings in it too.
Nice introduction to Rockwell's history and work but not much biography.
I love Norman Rockwell. This book is full of wonderful photos of his art.
