About This Book:

Title: Norman Rockwell: Behind the Camera

Synopsis
Many people are unaware that the colorful, exquisitely detailed, and richly observed paintings of Norman Rockwell began as black-and-white photographs. The artist painstakingly chose backgrounds, props, and models (many of them friends and family) that provided the look he needed, and then manipulated them into tableaux he could work from. This fascinating book details the process of their creation, with the photographs and the paintings juxtaposed, for an in-depth look at the mind and art of an American icon.
