Description |
4 of 8 in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" suite (1972); each signed below image PR as an "Artist's Proof" in pencil and hand printed on Velin d'Arches paper. This lithograph depicts an older woman sitting in a chair. In front of her sits a young girl in a blue dress and bonnet. The woman is giving the girl a lesson in how to thread a needle. During Norman Rockwell's lifetime he moved hearts and minds through his widely disseminated published illustrations, offering everyday people an opportunity to participate in the national conversations in a way few artists of his time could. When Rockwell moved to Stockbridge, Massachusetts, in 1953, he was at the pinnacle of his career. It was here, in his meticulously renovated 1830s carriage barn studio, that he created some of his most enduring works-from neighborly gatherings of small-town America to vivid scenes of national social change. |
