Description
Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera explores the photographs that formed the basis of his iconic artworks. Working with photographers, Rockwell directed models, selected props and locations to create meticulously composed images - works of art in their own right. These photographs feature friends and neighbors who served as amateur models for many of his most memorable characters. The book delves into the archive of nearly 20,000 photographs at the Norman Rockwell Museum, featuring reproductions of Rockwell's black-and-white photographs alongside related full-color artworks. An incisive narrative and quotes from Rockwell models and family members add depth to this groundbreaking study. By examining these photographs, readers will gain insight into Rockwell's creative process and the artistry behind his most famous images.
