Fred Bauer writes about Rockwell's message of optimism and the artist's faith in America and its people, in a forthright and sympathetic text complemented by numerous Rockwell favorites in all their warmth and color. Bauer visits Stockbridge, Massachusetts, and Arlington, Vermont, talking to the people who lived with Rockwell and posed for his anecdotal pictures, the people about whom the artist said, "If you are interested in the characters you draw and understand them and love them, why, the people who see your pictures are bound to feel the same way.” This revised edition of this classic volume enables us to rediscover Rockwell’s unique understanding of American greatness.
Book Synopsis In Search of Norman Rockwell's America by : Kevin Rivoli
Download or read book In Search of Norman Rockwell's America written by Kevin Rivoli and published by Howard Books. This book was released on 2008-10-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unprecedented collection, photojournalist Kevin Rivoli proves that the idealistic, all-American views found in Norman Rockwell's classic illustrations are, in fact, accurate and timeless portrayals of a nation that truly does exist. Some critics argue that Norman Rockwell's images are overly sentimental, old-fashioned, and contrived. Yet it was always photojournalist Kevin Rivoli's belief that the themes that make Rockwell's illustrations so poignant -- patriotism, faith, family, and sports -- are also what make our country so great. Determined to dispel the critics' claims against Rockwell's prolific body of work, Rivoli set out with his camera to visit small towns and capture spontaneous Rockwell moments that celebrate the glory of ordinary, everyday life. In Search of Norman Rockwell's America pairs Rivoli's photographs side by side with Norman Rockwell's iconic paintings, demonstrating how Rockwell's scenes were not just imagined on a canvas since they continue to sensitively reflect the American experience today. Each page of In Search of Norman Rockwell's America is filled with inspiring quotes and anecdotes from those who have been touched by Rockwell, including Arnold Palmer, Dick Clark, Beau Bridges, Dolly Parton, former president Jimmy Carter, and even the original subjects of Rockwell's artwork. A must-have for photographers, artists, Rockwell enthusiasts, and those desiring to slow down and focus on what's really important in life -- embracing those special Rockwell moments.

Book Synopsis Norman Rockwell by : Norman Rockwell
Download or read book Norman Rockwell written by Norman Rockwell and published by Thunder Bay Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Norman Rockwell spent seven decades capturing the essence of the American spirit on canvas. His paintings, which graced more than three hundred covers of The Saturday Evening Post, created the symbols of the nation during World War II, depicted beautiful women who still retained their girl-next-door qualities, showed boys and girls embroiled in the delights and disappointments of childhood and young lovers sipping ice cream sodas, and celebrated the joys of family gatherings. But most of all, Rockwell's pictures portrayed the strength and compassion of small-town America, earning him a unique position as both a storyteller and a chronicles of American history. Adults and children alike recognize Norman Rockwell's name and paintings as the embodiment of all that is positive in the American character. Norman Rockwell, who painted from 1912 to 1976, illustrated not only magazine covers, but also children's books, boy scout calendars, and advertisements for corporations and the U.S. government. He also portrayed all of the major presidential candidates from 1952 to 1972, as well as statesmen, actors, and popular heroes of the day. Norman Rockwell is a Rockwell retrospective, featuring work from almost every year of his artistic career. From an early series depicting the awkwardness and exhilaration of young Boy Scouts to his later series illustrating the Four Freedoms--Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want, and Freedom from Fear--for which America was fighting in World War II, to his poignant and authentic images of Americans at play, at work, and in their homes, this collection offers a truly spectacular and diverse array of full-color reproductions of Rockwell's work. Norman Rockwell allows the Rockwell fan to trace the evolution of the artist and his craft, year by year, through his paintings, his sketches, and photographs of him at work. This volume also contains a discussion of Rockwell's life, "A Great American Success Story," and a section describing the precise and deliberate way he created his paintings. In addition, Norman Rockwell features a preface by Maureen Hart Hennessey, curator of The Normal Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge. This collection of Rockwell's work, full of his most popular paintings--as well as much of his lesser-known work--is sure to delight people of all ages

Book Synopsis Awakening the Spirit of America by : Paul M. Sparrow
Download or read book Awakening the Spirit of America written by Paul M. Sparrow and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful new work of history that brings President Roosevelt, his allies, and his adversaries to life as he fought to transform America from an isolationist bystander into the world’s first superpower. “In today’s troubled times, with authoritarianism escalating at home and abroad, Sparrow’s book reads like an all-hands-on-deck wakeup call. Highly recommended!”—Douglas Brinkley Franklin Roosevelt awoke at 2:50 a.m. on September 1, 1939 to the news that Germany had invaded Poland, signaling the start of World War II. The president had warned for years that Hitler’s fascist regime posed an existential threat to democracy, but the American public remained stubbornly isolationist as fascist sympathizing groups, egged on by right wing media stars promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, plotted to overthrow the president. The situation was dire, and Roosevelt quickly found himself facing an unexpected adversary: Charles Lindbergh. Wildly popular, the famed aviator's youthful charm, plainspoken rhetoric, and media magnetism earned him a massive following as he led an aggressive attack on FDR’s policies. Millions listened to Linberg’s radio broadcasts and attended his rallies. Powerful individuals including William Randolph Hearst, Henry Ford, and members of Congress supported him. The German government provided secret funds to Lindbergh’s Nazi followers as he led the radical America First Committee in an effort to prevent Roosevelt from aiding England’s survival—and the world’s. Awakening the Spirit of America brilliantly shows how Roosevelt overcame the forces aligned against him in a war against fascism. Paul Sparrow, former director of the FDR Presidential Library, reveals how FDR's triumph of leadership was by no means a foregone conclusion. Roosevelt’s astute political maneuvers and persuasive use of language to preserve what he termed “the spirit of America” changed history and can still inspire today. Sparrow brings readers into the rooms where key decisions were made, focusing on the crucial role words, media, and propaganda played in the transformation of America into the protector of the free world. Awakening the Spirit of America provides a riveting, inside account of FDR’s ultimate victory over pro-Nazi isolationists and provides vital insight into American history and an iconic president.
