Edition size: 200
THE FOUR SEASONS by the American artist illustrator NORMAN ROCKWELL, is a set of four hand drawn lithographs printed using hand lithography techniques on Velin d'Arches paper. The lithographs are UNSIGNED trial proofs bearing the printer's registration cross markings in print margins, from the master printers private collection. These 4 examples were taken to Stockbridge, Mass. and shown to Norman Rockwell for his approval prior to editioning. This suite is was published in an edition size of 200 prints by Circle Gallery, Chicago. Hand Proofed and printed at the American Atelier, New York, NY, Dec. 1974. Very fine impressions, exquisitely detailed drawings printed in a light pencil-gray colored ink on archival Arches printmaking paper, 100% acid free.
SPRING portrays two old men and a beagle curiously examining a woman's clothing left on a NO SWIMMING sign. SUMMER shows the two old men and dog fishing on a pier. AUTUMN shows them square dancing in a hoe down. WINTER depicts them making music together. Brown and Bigelow commissioned Rockwell to produce numerous four season calendars. These 4 images were used for the 1953 calendar, all depicting typical seasonal scenes that attempted to capture the essence of the season. It aimed “to convey something of feeling of the seasons by the poses.” The variety of poses used for the old men and dog allowed Rockwell to achieve specific moods. –Norman Rockwell from Rockwell on Rockwell
Norman Percevel Rockwell (February 3, 1894 – November 8, 1978) was an American illustrator and painter of the 20th-century. His works are famous for their portrayal of American culture. Rockwell is prominent for the cover illustrations of everyday life scenes he created for the magazine, The Saturday Evening Post, for more than four decades.
Without thinking too much about it in specific terms, I was showing the America I knew and observed to others who might not have noticed.
