Review: Awful production values but fascinating content - Many of the images are so poorly reproduced that I almost rewrapped and returned this book after flipping through the first 30 or 40 pages : even the drawings seem blurred and out of focus to varying extents, which I find very frustrating. Strangely, after about page 100, this improved for the next hundred or so pages before deteriorating again. As this is put out by the Norman Rockwell Museum, I am particularly disappointed as I presume they possess most of the originals, and his covers are especially easy to reproduce clearly, even for cheap mass market productions. However: the content is fascinating …. I had not been aware how many sketches Rockwell would produce for a cover - often a dozen or more, many of which were highly finished like presentation drawings. Also, one can chart how he refined his designs and the details of a work, even from a very polished drawing to the final painting - a face more subtly defined, an arm rendered more slender, a shoe turned a little inwards, an expression made more provocative : he was truly a master and a perfectionist. The book also has many of his preparatory photos, and it is fascinating how he refined these to arrive at his final image : he would strengthen the jaw line of an athlete to make him look somehow more “all-american”, tweak a nose to render a character more iconic, elongate a body to make the figure appear more “natural”. It really brought home how he used photography as a tool as opposed to simply reproducing a photographic image. Seeing the whole process and then the resulting image, one realises how instrumental he was in creating what we think of as quintessentially “American”, whether it be a small town cop, the girl next door, or the local hero-athlete. So in-spite of the appalling production quality, I kept the book. So sad that a book with such extraordinary content has been diminished by such poor production values.
Review: Poor quality production. - Quality of paper used does not support the images, resulting in a book that does little to show Rockwell’s undoubted talent as an illustrator.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by E***S on 13 November 2022*

This book is truly a fantastic gem. It was written to coincide the 2022-2023 showing of these same drawings at the Rockwell Museum in Massachusetts. Since at this moment of my review “Henry G” has made the only other review & I felt compelled to settle a matter. The alternative drawings he complained about were in the Foreward of the book & from the artist who created them as he explains Rockwell’sinfluence on his life’s work. There are an amazing amount of Rockwell drawings & preliminary studies of yes, the paintings they eventually became, so of course they are in included. Henry G clearly did not read any of this book. He only flipped the pages & looked at pictures & completely missed what this book is truly about & how it is structured. I have several books about or by Norman Rockwell as I too am kindred a spirit with Louis Henry Mitchell who wrote the Foreward & in my love for Norman Rockwell’s finished work and every step he took to get it there. This book is a deep dive into those processes & reveal his sketches/drawings & lots of important, interesting & anecdotal stories to go with it. Again, this is a gem to be treasured.
