"Describes the life and work of iconic American painter Norman Rockwell"--Provided by publisher.

Norman Rockwell was an illustrator of tremendous ingenuity and energy, and his memorable scenes come together to create a brilliant patchwork quilt of American imagery. With the arrival of the full-color press and a wealth of illustrated magazines, Rockwell took his art to the masses and became the most beloved American illustrator of all time. His career begins in New York with Boy?s Life and continues with The Saturday Evening Post, along with his later, more socially conscious work for Look magazine.
