"Before the stars of radio, television, and motion pictures captured the American imagination, book and magazine illustrators were the popular heroes of their day. Among this celebrated group, Norman Rockwell emerges supreme, remaining America's most beloved artist even years after the passing of the golden age of illustration. Rockwell's art consistently touched themes that transcend fashion and events and tapped the very wellspring of the American character. It is a well-known fact that Normal Rockwell drew upon his immediate environment for the subjects of his paintings. The people and events in his life were people and events in his illustrations. But who are the people who paraded through the artist's canvases over the years? Here, for the first time, the world of Normal Rockwell is presented as he saw it."--Page [2] of jacket.

Rockwell was both an optimist and a humanist. The driving force in his work lay in his abiding faith in the goodness of human nature. He was incapable of being mean. Even when he poked fun at his subjects, he did so without derision. He was equally incapable of violence. Given these traits, and adding to this his apolitical nature, it is remarkable that Rockwell's images created during World War II somehow captured the spirit of a nation at war in a way that no other body of work managed to accomplish.
