Product Description: This full-sized album of Saturday Evening Post covers captures everyday events and historic moments in American history.
Although technically Norman Rockwell was an academic painter, he had the eye of a photographer and, as he became a mature artist, he used this eye to give us a picture of America that was famliar—astonishingly so—and at the same time unique. Rockwell best expressed this vision of America in his justly famous cover illustrations for magazines like The Saturday Evening Post. 332 of these cover paintings, from beloved classics like "Marbles Champion" to lesser-known gems like "Feeding Time," are reproduced in stunning full color in this large-format volume, which is sure to be treasured by art lovers everywhere.
Terrible quality prints Although there are plenty of large prints of his work the quality here is terrible! The colours are washed out and grainy, doing Rockwell a great disservice by not being a true representation of his amazing work, Very disappointed I bought this.
Not Bad This is not a review of Rockwells work as much as it is about the quality of the book. Its a nice big book , with one cover following the other. the quality of color is a bit sub standard and the descriptions at the end make things a bit hard to flip back and forth. A brilliant collection ofcourse but not as nice as I expected. Tom rockwell's best of Norman Rockwell is smaller but way better print quality. I do recommend this book ofcourse for the genius and technique of a great american master.
Great Book Norman Rockwell 332 Magazine Covers
If you love Norman Rockwell's Saturday Evening Post pictures, you will love this book! There are some pictures that I have never seen before. It is a great coffee table book. You will never get tired of looking at all the pictures. You get a sense of what life was like back when Norman Rockwell drew those pictures.
what a book! This book is massive! Geesh, I wasn't expecting quite this and was pleasantly surprised. I'm very happy with this purchase, and kudos to Amazon for getting it to me a day before the estimated time it was to arrive! It came in this huge US postal bag and...it was just fantastic. Very exciting and I look forward to having a good look at it soon. I highly recommend this book to anyone. It's the definitive Norman Rockwell.
Deception This would be a wonderful book for Rockwell's fans BUT the poor quality of the printing and the copies of illustrations made me regret buying it.
