About this product

Product Information

For the majority of his decades-long career, Norman Rockwell relied on a camera to help him render the iconic scenarios born in his imagination. Photograph by photograph, he painstakingly assembled the specific features he sought for his envisioned illustration, projecting whole or partial pictures of amateur models, objects and settings onto drafting paper, and from there, onto canvas.Many of Rockwell's most famous works - including those reproduced for LIFE and the Saturday Evening Post - began behind the lens. Uncanny in their approximation to his final paintings and unknown outside a small circle of Rockwell specialists, his study photographs are among the most evocative ever taken by a painter and undoubtedly cast his brushwork in a new light.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Rockwell rocks my world!

    After years of being inspired by Rockwell and his enormous collection of illustrations...i had no idea how they all came to life. This book shows images captured on camera; of friends, family members or even neighbors...to the final paintings/drawings that emerged. His work never ceases to amaze me. This is a great addition to my collection of art books...but this one now sits on the coffee table!

  • Fascinating look into Norman Rockwell's methods.

    One of the more interesting books on the methods used by Norman Rockwell to create his paintings. The photographs and associated paintings are very enjoyable.
