|  | Norman Rockwell; Pictures for the American People by Anne Knutson, Maureen H. Hennessey
Accompanying the first major traveling exhibition of works by Norman Rockwell (1894-1978), this volume presents a complete reappraisal of one of America's most beloved artists. Contributors from a wide range of fields--including leading art historians, cultural critics, a renowned child psychiatrists, and a leading graphic designer--shed new light on the complexity of Rockwell's art and his place as a shaper of mass-media imagery. Stunning colorplates reproduce Rockwell's paintings in crisp detail, and the essays set them in fresh contexts, discussing such themes as Rockwell's urban scenes; the reaction by both black and white Southerners to Rockwell's historic civil rights painting THE PROBLEM WE ALL LIVE WITH; AND Rockwell's role in the development of American illustration. Above all, this important volume examines Norman Rockwell's critical place in 20th-century American culture. AUTHOR: Anne Knutson, Maureen H. Hennessey
