My Adventures as an Illustrator: The Definitive Edition

The life of Americaâ€™s most beloved artist, in his own wordsâ€•back in print with restored text and drawings, new illustrations, and more
Â
The wit, humanity, and many-sided talent of Norman Rockwell (1894â€“1978) are on full display in his classic autobiography. Rockwellâ€™s New York City boyhood, his apprentice days at the Art Students League, his first fateful visit to the Saturday Evening Post, his adventures abroad, his move to rural Vermontâ€•all are recounted with a mix of sharp observation and self-deprecating humor. Throughout Rockwell invites the reader into his artistic process: he introduces his favorite models, candidly reveals his biggest flops, and documents the creation of a Post cover step by step.
Â
This Definitive Edition restores the original 1960 text of My Adventures as an Illustrator, as well as the playful vignettes that Rockwell drew to head each chapter. Thanks to a massive image digitization effort undertaken by the Norman Rockwell Museum, it is also illustrated with more than 150 of Rockwellâ€™s paintings and drawings, many of which highlight lesser-known aspects of his work. A new introduction by the artistâ€™s granddaughter Abigail Rockwell adds reference value, as do an illustrated chronology and an annotated bibliography prepared by the staff of the Norman Rockwell Museum.
Â
This attractive volume will be the essential source on the life of Norman Rockwell, and delightful reading for anyone who enjoys his art. Plus, its publication coincides with a major new exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum concerning the autobiographical elements in the artistâ€™s work (Norman Rockwell: Private Moments for the Masses, June 8 through October 27, 2019).
