Description:
NORMAN ROCKWELL (American, 1894-1978)
Portrait of Edna E. Redding, 1919
Oil on board
11.75 x 9 in.
Signed lower right

This early portrait by Rockwell is reproduced as P117 on page 1003 in Norman Rockwell: A Definitive Catalogue, by Laurie Norton Moffatt (The Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge, 1986).

Rockwell, Norman:Rockwell's name has become synonymous with American illustration. From 1916 to 1963, he created hundreds of covers for "The Saturday Evening Post," many of which have become icons of American pop culture. He was also much in demand as an illustrator of corporate calendars. His method of composition for the original oil paintings that were the basis of the printed covers, was to make a loose sketch of the idea, then gather costumes, models, and props, make individual drawings of the parts, and then combine them into the final detailed work. Although his work had a great influence on creating an image of middle-class, conservative America, his work for "Look" magazine in the 1960's pursued subjects of that conflict-ridden decade, such as segregation. Throughout his long career, his work provides an excellent look into America's changing consciousness in the 20th century.. American illustrator, 1894-1978
