Norman Rockwell Illustrator was first published in 1946, and today it is a rare collector's volume and virtually unavailable. This newer 1972 anniversary edition, published exactly as it first appeared, with all the fine color plates and fascinating marginal drawings created by Rockwell especially for this book, documents both the life and work of an artist who has portrayed the "American man" - his dreams, his triumphs, his failures, pleasures and trials - with sure perfection and obvious affections.
Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894-November 8, 1978) was an American painter and illustrator. His works have a broad popular appeal in the United States for their reflection of the country's culture. Rockwell is most famous for the cover illustrations of everyday life he created for The Saturday Evening Post magazine over nearly five decades.
