26None889,335NoneNone
Norman Rockwell was an illustrator of tremendous ingenuity and energy, and his memorable scenes come together to create a brilliant patchwork quilt of American imagery. With the arrival of the full-color press and a wealth of illustrated magazines, Rockwell took his art to the masses and became the most beloved American illustrator of all time. His career begins in New York with Boy's Life and continues with The Saturday Evening Post, along with his later, more socially conscious work for Look magazine. In the American Artist series, you'll read about more masters of the art world who not only depicted American life and landscape through beautiful works but also broadened our perspectives by employing the tools of their trade with the highest levels of creativity and insight. Experience firsthand these artists' vision and influence through the seventy or more spectacular, full-color reproductions of their work. Each title in this series includes color photos throughout, and back matter including: an index and further reading lists for books and internet resources. Educational Videos are offered in the back through the use of QR codes, that, when scanned, takes the student to an online video showing a video relating to the book topic. This gives the readers additional content to supplement the text.… (more)
