Description |
Lithograph, printed in black litho crayon on handmade Velin d'Arches paper 1 of 5 from the "American Family" suite Each numbered 65/200 and signed by the artist Pulled at Desjobert, Paris and Atelier Mourlot, Paris This lithograph by Norman Rockwell depicts a young man feeding a baby. The young man appears dishevelled, yet gives the baby a loving look. He sits in a wooden chair beside a bassinet. 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. |
