The best of Norman Rockwell. A Celebration of America’s Favorite illustrator, Ed. Courage Books, 1988

Norman Rockwell’s son, Tom, has put together the absolute finest collection of his father’s bounteous body of work, illustrations that bespeak the golden glow of pre- and post-WWII Americana. Rockwell senior, who said he depicted life “as I would like it to be,” chronicled iconic visions of American life: the Thanksgiving turkey, soda fountains, ice skating on the pond, and small-town boys playing baseball-not to mention the beginning of the civil rights movement.

Now, the best-selling collection of Rockwell’s most beloved illustrations, organized by decade, is available in a refreshed edition. With more than 150 images-oil paintings, watercolors, and rare black-and-white sketches–this is an uncommonly faithful Rockwell treasury. The original edition has sold nearly 200,000 copies.

Pubblicazione di grande formato, a copertina rigida in tela rossa con titolo dorato al dorso, dotata di sovracoperta illustrata lucida, rilegata a filo, stampata su carta semi-lucida di buona qualità, ricca di riproduzioni in B/N e a colori anche a tutta pagina.
