The definitive Rockwell source in a two volume boxed set, depicting and documenting every known illustration done by the artist in a career spanning six decades.
His art, craft and his evolution through paintings, sketches & photographs. Illus. Quarto.
Norman Rockwell spent seven decades capturing the essence of the American spirit on canvas. His paintings, which graced more than three hundred covers of The Saturday Evening Post, created the symbols of the nation during World War II, depicted beautiful women who still retained their girl-next-door qualities, showed boys and girls embroiled in the delights and disappointments of childhood and young lovers sipping ice cream sodas, and celebrated the joys of family gatherings.

"The West is America. When considered through time and space, the West embraces the entire North American continent and its history. Just as there is no one true West, there is no one kind of western art. Through the linked, sometimes overlapping, themes of people, places, and ideas, art of the West can be viewed in ways not bounded by traditional notions, offering myriad meanings as well as an exciting and rewarding new appreciation for America, Americans, and American art." "The Rockwell Museum in Corning, New York, was founded in 1976 to house and exhibit fine collections of western art, Carder glass, guns, and antique toys.

In 2001, the Rockwell Museum reopened as the Rockwell Museum of Western Art. With this catalog, the Rockwell Museum of Western Art is pleased to present highlights of its splendid collection of western and Native American art -- truly, "the best of the West in the East."
