TAKE A FEW minutes to come to the Library to enjoy Norman Rockwell: Artist and Illustrator. In this one beautiful volume, 614 of Mr. Rockwell’s best illustrations are reproduced, with text by Thomas S. Buechner:
“Norman Rockwell’s subject is average America. He has painted it with such benevolent affection for so many years that a truly remarkable history of our century has been compiled. Through wars, depression, civil strife, and the exploration of space, he has drawn subjects from the everyday happenings of which most lives are made. Millions of people have been moved by his picture stories about the awkwardness of youth and the comforts of age, about pride in country, history, and heritage, about reverence, loyalty and compassion. The virtues that he admires are very popular, and because he illustrates them using familiar people in familiar settings with wonderful accuracy, he describes the American Dream.” □
