Best of Norman Rockwell
£20.70£23.80 (-13%)
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.

This is a well put together example of Rockwell’s work and has inspired me to carry on with my own efforts.

Excellent book. Beautiful charcoal sketches and full colour prints. Would make an ideal gift.
by Fred Able
I bought this to get a decent copy of some of the classic Rockwell pieces to appreciate and make copies for drawing practice. It turns out to be great for that, and has a lot more useful work than I expected. There are good reproductions of the paintings, but the surprise to me was how much charcoal/pencil/line work there is also, and I hadn’t seen any of it before. Some really nice portraits here. At the price (£15) it is one of the best value for money art books I’ve seen.

a wonderful book, great background info through the decades by one of his sons gives a ‘closeness’ to the artist, an inspiration

I’m a fan of Norman Rockwell’s great illustrations and this book is great. It’s a mix of some b&w images as well as colour. About 50/50 I’d say but the b&w images do not let the book down. Great illustrations. Just received it and haven’t had a proper chance to really enjoy it yet but from a first flick it’s great. Arrived on time. Good experience so far.

The ultimate painter of emotions and of every day simple. An uplifting book that brings a smile to your face.
by Marteno
Good quality prints including pretty much all his best work.
Rather sacrilegiously I have cut out several and framed them.
