Buechner - 1996 edition (original copyright 1970) - Norman Rockwell and his art remain iconic in the perception of mid twentieth century America. His work, often wry and comic, portrays average America; one of boxing matches, soda shops and the embarassment of youth. More than 600 of Rockwell's best illustrations are reproduced, providing an unusually broad view of his work. He painted 317 Saturday Evening Post covers, all of which are included, along with representative covers and story illustrations for such diverse publications as St. Nicholas, Life, Look, Leslie's, the Literary Digest, and Ramparts. Buechner, distinguished Director of the Brooklyn Museum, explores Rockwell's life and career, from his early training, through the development of his mature style, to his interest in the major social issues. With 614 illustrations, including 111 in full color, several foldouts - Ottimo stato.
