Norman Rockwell
Author: Laura Claridge
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1588360644
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 789
Book Description
Norman Rockwell’s tremendously successful, prolific career as a painter and illustrator has rendered him a twentieth-century American icon. However, the very popularity and accessibility of his idealized, nostalgic depictions of middleclass life have caused him to be considered not a serious artist but a “mere illustrator”–a disparagement only reinforced by the hundreds of memorable covers he drew for The Sunday Evening Post. Symptomatic of critics’ neglect is the fact that Rockwell has never before been the subject of a serious critical biography. Based on private family archives and interviews and publishes to coincide with a major two-year travelling retrospective of his work, this book reveals for the first time the driven workaholic who had three complicated marriages and was a distant father —so different from the loving, all-American-dad image widely held to this day. Critically acclaimed author Laura Claridge also breaks new ground with her reappraisal of Rockwell’s art, arguing that despite his popular sentimental style, his artistry was masterful, complex, and far more manipulative than people realize.

Pages : 244
Book Description
"Before the stars of radio, television, and motion pictures captured the American imagination, book and magazine illustrators were the popular heroes of their day. Among this celebrated group, Norman Rockwell emerges supreme, remaining America's most beloved artist even years after the passing of the golden age of illustration. Rockwell's art consistently touched themes that transcend fashion and events and tapped the very wellspring of the American character. It is a well-known fact that Normal Rockwell drew upon his immediate environment for the subjects of his paintings. The people and events in his life were people and events in his illustrations. But who are the people who paraded through the artist's canvases over the years? Here, for the first time, the world of Normal Rockwell is presented as he saw it."--Page [2] of jacket.
