The wit, humanity, and many-sided talent of Norman Rockwell (1894–1978) are on full display in his classic autobiography. Rockwell’s New York City boyhood, his apprentice days at the Art Students League, his first fateful visit to the Saturday Evening Post , his adventures abroad, his move to rural Vermont―all are recounted with a mix of sharp observation and self-deprecating humor. Throughout Rockwell invites the reader into his artistic process: he introduces his favorite models, candidly reveals his biggest flops, and documents the creation of a Post cover step by step. This Definitive Edition restores the original 1960 text of My Adventures as an Illustrator , as well as the playful vignettes that Rockwell drew to head each chapter. Thanks to a massive image digitization effort undertaken by the Norman Rockwell Museum, it is also illustrated with more than 150 of Rockwell’s paintings and drawings, many of which highlight lesser-known aspects of his work. A new introduction by the artist’s granddaughter Abigail Rockwell adds reference value, as do an illustrated chronology and an annotated bibliography prepared by the staff of the Norman Rockwell Museum. This attractive volume will be the essential source on the life of Norman Rockwell, and delightful reading for anyone who enjoys his art. Plus, its publication coincides with a major new exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum concerning the autobiographical elements in the artist’s work ( Norman Rockwell: Private Moments for the Masses , June 8 through October 27, 2019). Review: Fascinating and engrossing - This book is an extremely intimate and detailed account of Norman Rockwell's life. It has many, many illustrations that bring alive many of the points Rockwell, his son, and his grand daughter all seek to make. I learned a great deal about on of my favorite artists and illustrators. It is fascinating, full of very personal anecdotes and very revealing as to life and experiences of this incredibly talented man and his journey. Any aficionado of Rockwell, illustration, art, history or culture will absolutely love this account! While I have no status in art or illustration, I recommend this book without any reservation whatsoever. Review: Great Book! - I have always admired Norman Rockwell's work, so I was delighted to see his autobiography listed. It is a long book, but I read it very quickly. My only complaint is that due to its size and weight, I could not read it in bed! I did use my book pillow to read it in the living room, however. It is a superb book and well worth reading. The illustrations are great! It is well worth the price. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #150,543 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #172 in Individual Artist Monographs #219 in Biographies of Artists, Architects & Photographers (Books) #237 in Art History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 253 Reviews | ## Images ![My Adventures as an Illustrator: The Definitive Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71PPP87XXqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating and engrossing *by L***N on March 30, 2021* This book is an extremely intimate and detailed account of Norman Rockwell's life.
