Norman Rockwell's America (Abradale) (Hardcover)

by Christopher Finch (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Published by Abrams in 1985 for $45, this volume contains the same high quality at a significantly lower price. The coffee-table-size production includes 659 illustrations-129 in full color-some of which are foldouts. The illustrations cover the gamut of Rockwell's career, and the book is capped off with a gallery of his Saturday Evening Post covers. A steal at this price. For all collections.

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars True Americanna, March 21, 2005

By	R. L. Hodges - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Great book with 659 illustrations and biography of Norman Rockwell written by Christopher Finch. Rockwell's life span (1894 to 1978) is depicted in his paintings and illustrations including Saturday Evening Post, Boys Life and portraits of the United States Presidents of his time. He captured the every day events and human expressions in his unique style that is very heart warming. This is a true classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars True Life, August 14, 1999

By A Customer

Christopher Finch has captured Norman Rockwell's magnificent and intriguing use of art to compile a work of American History. Each painting featured in the book is an amusing, yet truthful look at American life in the early 1900's and on. This book is a must to have in any home library!
