NORMAN ROCKWELL
Signature and original drawing of his famous "Rockwell Dog", framed to an overall
size of 17½x18¾
Signature: "Your faithful/friend/Norman Rockwell", 3¼x2¼ card. At the upper left corner, the
noted American artist and illustrator has drawn the famous "Rockwell Dog". The canine
resembles his own dog, Butch, who appeared in many of the artist's illustrations of the 1940s
and 1950s. The dog was ever present in one of Rockwell's most important series, Four
Seasons (1948). Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) captured scenes from American life in
his magazine covers and illustrations, often noted for their humorous and accurate
depictions of 1940's and 1950's life. Rockwell's drawings, however, were skillfully executed
with minute attention to detail and were so realistic that they usually resembled photographs
rather than paintings. He painted over 300 covers for the "Saturday Evening Post"
(1916-1965) after beginning his career at age 18 as an illustrator for "Boy's Life". In
addition to his many works for the Post, Rockwell illustrated the "Boy Scout Calendar" from
1926-1976. Rockwell published his autobiography, Norman Rockwell, My Adventures as an
Illustrator, in 1960. Original drawings by Rockwell are extremely desirable. Lightly soiled,
else fine. Framed to an overall size of 17½x18¾.
