An inspiring anthology of work by America's favourite illustrator, personally selected by his son, Tom Norman Rockwell, once said he depicted life as I would like it to be, and the iconic visions of American life which he chronicled - the Thanksgiving turkey, ice skating on the pond, boys playing basketball, not to mention the beginning of the civil rights movement - have come to epitomise the golden glow of pre and post WWII Americana. Selected by Rockwell's son, Tom, this stunning retrospective of his father's bounteous body of work is now available in a refreshed, updated edition. With more than 150 images including oil paintings, watercolours and rare black and white sketches, this is an uncommonly faithful anthology which gives a unique, personal perspective on the private as well as the celebrated, public man, and which will be treasured by Rockwell enthusiasts and art lovers.
