1894-1978, American illustrator, b. New York City. An enormously popular illustrator, Rockwell specialized in warm and humorous scenes of everyday small-town life. The cover of The Saturday Evening Post was his showcase for over forty years, giving him an audience larger than that of any other artist in history. Over the years he depicted there a unique collection of Americana, a series of vignettes of remarkable warmth and humor.
You just can't beat this American gem for down~home illustrations. Always been one of my favorites since I was a little girl and my Grandma turned me loose with scissors and all her past subscriptions of Saturday Evening posts! It kept me quiet for hours and allowed me to gain a deep appreciation for art.
