Publisher's Synopsis
Few artists have captured the essence of everyday America with the warmth, humor, and kindness that Norman Rockwell (1898-1978) brought to his illustrative work. A master of painterly technique, he turned a gentle but highly perceptive eye on the details that made his subjects uniquely American. His genius for the freeze-frame composition that tells a much larger story brought him enormous popularity and worldwide recognition. This address book draws on fifty years' worth of covers painted by Rockwell for the Saturday Evening Post to showcase forty of his very finest pieces.
