About the Book

Artiste extraordinairement prolifique, Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) a réalisé sa vie durant près de 4000 peintures, sans compter un nombre impressionnant d'oeuvres de commande commerciales, publicitaires ou éditoriales. Sa mort en 1978 fut ressentie comme la perte d'une icône nationale, d'un artiste qui, comme nul autre, avait célébré le rêve américain.

Peu intéressé par l'expérimentation et les techniques d'avant-garde, mais plutôt attentif à l'efficacité d'une composition et à la pertinence d'un thème, Rockwell a créé des peintures morales et simples, séduisantes par leur accessibilité et leurs aspirations. Soignées, pittoresques et très souvent joyeuses, ses oeuvres ont pour sujet des salles de classe, des scènes de bal et les fêtes de Thanksgiving, tandis que ses projets au long cours ont débouché sur des unes pour le magazine The Saturday Evening Post ainsi que des calendriers et des couvertures pour Boys' Life, publié par l'organisation Boy Scouts of America. Rempli d'optimisme et de patriotisme, son travail met en avant des professions traditionnelles, notamment celles de médecin ou de professeur, et les piliers conservateurs que sont l'armée, la famille et la foi.

Saluées par le Président Gerald Ford comme une «partie bien-aimée de l'héritage américain», les oeuvres de Rockwell en révèlent autant sur ses talents d'artiste que sur les valeurs populaires et les aspirations de l'Amérique du 20e siècle. Ce nouvel ouvrage introductif réunit ses principales peintures et illustrations, choisies parmi les réjouissantes et lumineuses créations de l'artiste, ainsi que des oeuvres plus insolites abordant les dessous de l'Amérique, afin de saisir cet artiste américain dans son intégralité et ainsi les valeurs et idéaux qui ont contribué à son succès.
