NORMAN ROCKWELL
Norman Rockwell inscribed a book photograph from his biography.
Book Photograph inscribed and signed: "My best wishes/to/Gil
Moody/sincerely/Norman Rockwell". Color, 8½x11 overall, image 5x6½ (one
surface). Page from the biography, Norman Rockwell, Illustrator, by
Arthur L. Guptill, which was published in 1960, the same year as Rockwell
published his autobiography, Norman Rockwell, My Adventures as an
Illustrator. Illustration titled: "Tom Sawyer Switched for Talking to
Huck Finn". Rockwell's caption: "These aren't easy poses for the
artist's models to hold! It was such poses that made me first turn to the
camera as a logical aid...Fred Hildebrandt was my model for the
schoolmaster...It was fun picturing the girls so apprehensive and the boys so
full of glee. N.R." Rockwell illustrated Heritage Press publications of
two American classics written by Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens): The
Adventures of Tom Sawyer (1937) and The Adventures of Huckleberry
Finn (1940). American artist and illustrator Norman Rockwell (1894-1978)
is best known for his realistic and humorous scenes of small town life in
America. 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". Lightly creased. Fine condition.
