The Norman Rockwell treasury / Thomas S. Buechner. New York : Galahad, 1993. ©1979. pages cm. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Norman Rockwell's works have enchanted the public with their clear-eyed, humorous, and accurate picture of American life: the awkwardness of youth and the comforts of age; the importance of reverence, loyalty and compassion. Works of his such as "Girl at the Mirror" and "After the Prom" define a place in our history and will forever live in the American consciousness as reflective of the best we can be as a people. He portrayed the American dream with a wryness that gives an edge to the charm of his vision. The illustrations in this book cover every phase of the artist's production, including his inimitable covers and story illustrations for the Saturday Evening Post, St. Nicholas, Life, and other magazines. His advertisements as well as murals, greeting cards, Boy Scout calendars and his powerful pictorial statements on the great social issues of our time are also here. 20000720.
