About
Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera hardcover book by Norman Rockwell and Ron Schick. This is a beautiful large coffee table book Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera is the first book to explore the meticulously composed and richly detailed photographs that Norman Rockwell used to create his famous artworks. Working alongside skilled photographers, Rockwell acted as director, carefully orchestrating models, selecting props, and choosing locations for the photographs--works of art in their own right--that served as the basis of his iconic images. Readers will be surprised to find that many of his most memorable characters-the girl at the mirror, the young couple on prom night, the family on vacation-were friends and neighbors who served as his amateur models. In this groundbreaking book, author and historian Ron Schick delves into the archive of nearly 20,000 photographs housed at the Norman Rockwell Museum. Featuring reproductions of Rockwell's black-and-white photographs and related full-color artworks, along with an incisive narrative and quotes from Rockwell models and family members, this book will intrigue anyone interested in photography, art, and Americana. This is a book that will delight any Norman Rockwell collector or collector of quintessential Americana. The oversized, coffee-table book is titled, 'Norman Rockwell Behind The Camera.' It displays the photographs Rockwell used as studies for his paintings. "Almost everything and everyone that Rockwell painted from the 1930s onward was first elaborately staged for the camera." This 224-page hardcover is illustrated with some of Rockwell's most famous magazine cover paintings, alongside the photographs he used. This is the first book to explore the 18,000 black-and-white photographs housed in the Norman Rockwell Museum. Researched and written by Ron Schick, there also is a foreword by John Rockwell, the artist's grandson. This book was published in 2009 by Little, Brown and Co. It is housed in an unclipped dust jacket and is in new condition. This is also an inspiration book for illustrators and photographers. It showcases American history and culture as Rockwell and the magazine editors saw it.Details
