As one of history’s most prolific artists, Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) created over 4.000 paintings during his lifetime. His death in 1978 was recorded as the loss of a national icon who uniquely celebrated the “American Dream.” Throughout his career Rockwell stayed away from experimentation and avant‑garde techniques, adopting a simple and minimalist style. From Thanksgiving feasts to playful meals, his works are accompanied by long‑running projects. The Saturday Evening Post covers and the Boy Scouts of Boys' Life publication, among other contemporary projects, also appear in the book. Filled with optimism and patriotism, his work also explores family and faith themes. Described by President Gerald Ford as “a beloved piece of the American tradition,” Rockwell’s work showcases 20th‑century America. This new artist monograph from TASCHEN presents an American artist, the values that shaped society, and illustrations related to the United States. Publisher: TASCHEN. Publication date: June 2017.
