Description
With wry humor and unconcealed sentiment, Norman Rockwell’s illustrations speak volumes about the human condition and the country he loved. Rockwell created images of an idealized nation peppered with small towns and filled with industrious, down-to-earth folks. His artworks reflected the currents of American life, the way we were, the way we acted, and the way we treated each other. By the 1940s, he was considered a national living treasure. Twelve of Rockwell’s skillfully wrought images-eleven from The Saturday Evening Post and one from the Post’s sister publication, Country Gentleman-are presented here for your enjoyment. -Judy Goffman Cutler, American Illustrators Gallery, New York City
